According to search results, Chuck Todd announced on June 4, 2023, that he would be stepping down as host and moderator of "Meet the Press" after nine years. Todds final broadcast as moderator of the show was on September 10, 2023. Todd stated that he was stepping back in part because Kristen Welker, NBC News’ co-chief White House correspondent, had been "ready for this for a long time" and was the right person for the job. Todd had been the 12th moderator of "Meet the Press" and had won five Emmy awards during his tenure. There were rumors that Todd's time at the show would be short when its executive producer was reassigned at the end of last summer, but NBC gave no indication that this was anything other than Todd's decision.
