Lester Holt is one of the better presenters IMO
Well, I will say that I think he does a good job hosting Dateline (which is obviously not a political show), so when I heard they assigned him to do the news after Williams left, I thought he was a good choice. I assumed he was a Democrat (I assume most in the media are or liberal Republicans), but then again, I certainly don’t expect a conservative doing a nightly newscast or show at NBC.
He has never hosted a debate before. While I think he’ll have to be very tough on Trump to make up for Lauer, we’ll see if he’s equally as tough on Hillary.
