This year, Kristen Welker became the first Black person to host NBC News' "Meet the Press" and only the second woman to serve in the role. Welker stole America's heart when she moderated the 2020 presidential debate between candidates Joe Biden and Donald Trump. She didn't come to play that night, setting firm boundaries on time and allowing no one to speak over her. She was only the second Black woman to moderate a presidential debate. Welker graduated from Harvard University and matriculated her way through NBC News, where she served as White House correspondent before succeeding Chuck Todd as host of "Meet the Press."
