President Donald Trump posted on X on August 30, accusing Kristen Welker, host of "Meet the Press," of stating that his candidate endorsements have "mixed results." Trump asserted that his recent endorsements of Darline Graham and Mike Mazzei resulted in wins, with a 100% success rate for the U.S. Senate and 98% for the U.S. House, and an overall 99% success rate over the long term.
Trump called Welker's statement "purposeful inaccuracy" and said he would report her to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for rebuke or punishment. He criticized the media for downplaying his endorsement record, saying that his "99% SUCCESS Rate on Endorsements, 100% on Senatorial Endorsements" is being described as "mixed results" or "not very good." Trump claimed his endorsement is "without question, the strongest Endorsement in the History of Politics." He cited Darline Graham's Senate run as an example, noting that she was not expected to win until he endorsed her, and her victory was barely covered by the media.
Trump also accused "Radical Left News" of going out of their way to harass, demean, and libel anything related to "TRUMP," and urged FCC Chairman Brendan Carr to take this "threat to our Country very seriously."
