On Truth Social, Trump expressed outrage over Welker&#8217;s statement that he had &#8220;mixed results&#8221; with his endorsements, despite his high success rate in recent elections, notably noting victories like those of Sen. lindsey Graham and Mike Mazzei. Trump criticized Welker and mainstream media for what he perceives as unfair, inaccurate reporting aimed at diminishing his achievements.He insisted his endorsement success rate is among the highest in political history and highlighted the importance of his endorsements in recent primary wins. Trump also warned that the media and &#8220;Radical left news&#8221; are dishonestly attacking him, and he called on the FCC to address what he considers biased commentary on public airwaves. Trump stands by his record, asserting it is the strongest endorsement track in political history.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"4\">Donald Trump<\/a> announced that he was reporting NBC News\u2019s Kristen Welker to the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/federal-communications-commission\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"1637\">Federal Communications Commission<\/a> for \u201crebuke and punishment\u201d over comments she made about his endorsement record.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a Sunday <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/117184581053116309\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/117184581053116309\">post<\/a> on Truth Social, Trump voiced his outrage over comments Welker made minutes before, when she said Trump had \u201cmixed results\u201d on his success rate in endorsing candidates in Republican primaries.
