Who Is Kristen Welker? NBC News White House Correspondent To Host Final Presidential Debate

Welker is the second Black woman to moderate a presidential debate.

The Harvard-educated Welker takes her place in history behind Carole Simpson, who handled the second debate between incumbent George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Ross Perot in 1992. https://t.co/eI83sQxDIY

Welker married John Hughes, a marketing executive, in 2017. He wooed her with presidential trivia.

On one date, he left her with a gift — a crossword puzzle of presidents with witty clues he wrote himself. https://t.co/eI83sQxDIY pic.twitter.com/VklPObvQ7N

Her family gives exclusively to Democrats, her husband is a former Democrat operative, she fulfilled a dream of her Dad’s by introducing him to Barack Obama in 2012, she once told Hillary Clinton’s campaign the questions prior to a debate. Other than that she should be fair.

Hope she is equally tough on both. Especially questioning verified Hunter Biden money laundering issues with Joe Biden and family.

Joe Biden was a senator for 36 years. He says we can trust his experience.
 
BUT he refuses to release his senate records from the Univ. of Delaware.
 
At the 10/22 debate, moderator #KristinWelker must ask Joe what he’s hiding.
 
RT if we deserve an answer!

Fox and Friends joining the Kristin Welker takedown effort by…showing clips of her asking questions at press conferences. Which is part of journalism.
