Todd, who will transition to a role as NBC’s chief political analyst, made the announcement on Sunday morning’s edition of the show.
Todd, 51, said he was motivated by a desire to spend more time with his family and focus on long-form projects like documentary series and documentary dramas. “I’ve let work consume me for nearly 30 years,” he said. “I can’t remember the last time I didn’t wake up before 5 or 6 a.m., and as I’ve watched too many friends and family let work consume them before it was too late, I promised my family I wouldn’t do that.”
Welker, 46, who joined NBC News in 2010, has long been trumpeted as a rising star at the network — and across the industry.
Welker served as the moderator of the final 2020 presidential debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, earning praise for her performance. In addition to being the youngest moderator of the presidential election cycle, she was also the only moderator of color.
During a period of declining viewership across broadcast and cable news, “Meet the Press” still draws big audiences, averaging 2.57 million total viewers in the 2021 to 2022 broadcast season.
