MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace said she might not be on the air if former President Trump wins the election this fall.
Noting the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner was held over the weekend, Wallace said “behind the levity, though, there was something darker. A darker undercurrent, if you will, and a point that the president had to make, and it was more profoundly serious.”
“Because at this exact time next year, depending what happens in November seven months from now, we can’t say for certain that there would even be a White House Correspondents’ Dinner, or even a free press, or even a White House Press Corps,” she added.
Wallace continued, adding that “this time next year I might not be sitting here.”
The comment came after she played a clip of President Biden toasting members of the press during the annual dinner. She said while she’s seen the toast “many times,” it felt different in 2024.
Her comments, first highlighted by Mediaite, echoes several leading pundits on MSNBC, who regularly critique the former president and his allies.
Trump has for years railed against the left-leaning network over coverage he says in unfair to him. He recently suggested that if were to be elected again this fall, he would have the federal government investigate Comcast, NBC Universal’s parent company, over what he called “treason.”
