Meet the Press NOW

Trump left the interview after Kristen Welker pressed him to back up his California primary rigging claim.

  • On Sunday, President Donald Trump abruptly ended an NBC News Meet the Press interview with Kristen Welker after she challenged his unsubstantiated claims that California's recent primary was 'rigged.'
  • Trump's allegations mirror the narrative he used regarding the 2020 presidential race, where he falsely claimed mail-in ballots proved Democrats were cheating, a thoroughly debunked argument he maintains.
  • When asked for evidence, Trump responded there is 'tremendous evidence' backing his statement while also making unsubstantiated claims about FBI involvement in the January 6th Capitol attack.
  • Donna Crane, a political science professor at San Jose State University, stated California's slow results stem from heavy reliance on mail-in ballots and uneven county investment in election hardware, not fraud.
  • This incident parallels an April interview where Trump insulted CBS News host Norah O'Donnell after similar questioning, as experts warn he may peddle comparable conspiracy theories regarding the 2026 elections.
