GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump is participating in his first sit-down Sunday news show interview since entering the race in June.
The outspoken billionaire is taping an appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press” with host Chuck Todd on Saturday while campaigning in Iowa.
Its broadcast Sunday illustrates the truce between the two men following a public feud earlier this year.
Todd mocked Trump’s White House aspirations last January, quipping that “nobody’s going to mistake Donald Trump for a presidential candidate, I don’t think, other than Donald Trump.”
Trump responded by calling the NBC anchor “a real loser” who was “setting record lows” in television ratings in a Twitter rant.
Here’s the rest of Sunday’s expected guests across all five major news networks:
NBC’s “Meet the Press”: Todd’s face-to-face chat with Trump is the New York business mogul’s first since emerging as the frontrunner for the Republican nomination.
NBC said earlier this week that the pair plan on discussing the GOP’s crowded 2016 field, the economy, immigration and foreign policy.
Todd is also speaking with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) during NBC’s broadcast. He will discuss his surging campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016.
ABC’s “This Week”: Host George Stephanopoulos will touch on all the latest developments in both parties’ 2016 primaries during ABC’s Sunday broadcast.
GOP presidential candidates Ben Carson and Carly Fiorina will each appear to discuss their campaigns in individual interviews.
Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.), meanwhile, is weighing in on Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and the latest developments over her personal email server.
Clinton announced last week she is turning over her private device and its backup thumb drive to Justice Department investigators.
The House Benghazi Committee chairman plans on discussing that news given his previous concerns over Clinton’s use of the device during her tenure as secretary of State.
“Fox News Sunday”: Host Chris Wallace is booked for his own talks with Carson and Gowdy during Fox News’s Sunday broadcast.
Carson’s appearance comes as the news outlet plans on releasing its first national poll results since it hosted the GOP’s first debate earlier this month.
Gowdy, meanwhile, is speaking with Wallace about Clinton’s transparency and how it impacts her own Oval Office bid in 2016.
CNN’s “State of the Union”: CNN’s lineup is focusing on some of the GOP’s 2016 contenders with gubernatorial backgrounds Sunday.
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and Ohio Gov. John Kasich are each providing the latest news on their respective presidential runs.
Host Jake Tapper is then interviewing Joshua Alcorn, a major player in efforts working towards Vice President Biden’s potential presidential campaign next year.
Alcorn is a senior adviser to Draft Biden 2016 and also served as a senior adviser to Beau Biden, the vice president’s late son.
The Biden confidant plans on offering insight into whether or not voters can expect Vice President Biden on the campaign trail.
Former Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer is also booked for CNN’s weekly news panel this Sunday.
CBS’s “Face the Nation”: Kasich is also stopping by CBS’s studios this weekend.
The Ohio governor is discussing Trump, his efforts in New Hampshire and his surge in national polls with host John Dickerson.
Dickerson is also scheduled for an interview with Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), another 2016 contender in the crowded GOP field.
Graham plans on discussing his place in the current White House race and his take on Clinton’s email scandal during Sunday’s broadcast.
Former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley is also expected to make a “Face the Nation” appearance this weekend.
The Democratic presidential candidate is talking about his party’s upcoming debate schedule and the Black Lives Matter movement with Dickerson.
Still won’t get me to watch any of the alphabet drive-bys.
Fyi
Yes, we can read about it here.
That’s what youtube’s for!
You are wise, grasshopper.
