Trump Calls for FCC Action Against NBC's Kristen Welker Over 'Mixed Results' Remark

Trump posted on Truth Social on 30 August 2026 that NBC News anchor Kristen Welker should be "reported to the FCC for rebuke or punishment" after she said on WRC, NBC's Washington D.C. station, that his midterm endorsements had "mixed results." The FCC cannot punish individual journalists but can act against the station's owner, NBCUniversal.
