About Chuck Todd
He received his diploma from Miami Killian Senior High School, which is located in Kendall, a suburban neighborhood in greater Miami that is unincorporated. Between the years 1990 and 1994, Todd received his education at George Washington University. Although he majored in political science and minored in music, he did not end up earning a degree in either subject. At the present time, Todd is working at Johns Hopkins University as an adjunct professor.
The book “The Stranger: Barack Obama in the White House” is credited to him as the author. The book “How Barack Obama Won: A State-by-State Guide to the Historic 2008 Presidential Election,” which Todd co-authored with Sheldon Gawiser and was released in 2009, is another one of Todd’s works. After working on Senator Tom Harkin’s (D-Iowa) presidential campaign in 1992 while he was still in college, Todd went on to become a part-time employee at The Hotline, which is published by the National Journal.
The Hotline of National Journal was Todd’s place of employment from 1992 until the 12th of March, 2007, during the latter six years of which he served as editor-in-chief. A daily show that lasted between three and seven minutes and a weekly show that lasted between twenty and thirty minutes were both part of Todd’s responsibilities as a co-host for the webcast series Hotline TV, which he hosted alongside John Mercurio as part of his role.
Tim Russert recruited Todd from The Hotline and brought him to NBC in March of 2007. At that point in time, he was promoted to the position of political director at NBC News. In this capacity, Todd was frequently called upon to offer live on-air political commentary on a variety of political talk shows, including as Morning Joe, Hardball with Chris Matthews, Meet the Press, NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt, and The Rachel Maddow Show. Additionally, he participated in a weekly Question and Answer session (commonly known as “Q&A”) with users of Newsvine.
Former MSNBC television personality Dan Abrams created an internet service on July 6, 2009 called Mediaite. The website focuses on reporting on personalities in the media. This website provides a ranking of the influence of all American journalists who work in television. As of the month of October in 2009, Todd was rated just ahead of Mike Wallace at number five. As of the 21st of December in 2011, Todd was ranked number two, but as of the 9th of January in 2013, he was ranked number ninety. The Daily Rundown is an MSNBC program that airs weekday mornings from 9:00 to 10:00 ET. Todd began his role as co-host of the program on January 11, 2010, alongside Savannah Guthrie.
MSNBC made the announcement on July 23, 2015 that Todd would be returning to the network with a daily political show called MTP Daily, which began running on weekdays at 17:00 Eastern Time. The show was a continuation of the previous program, Meet the Press. Meet the Press on NBC remained in Todd’s capable hands as moderator.
The first pair of debates for the 2020 Democratic Party presidential election took place on June 26 and 27, 2019, and were hosted by Todd, along with Jose Diaz-Balart, Savannah Guthrie, Lester Holt, and Rachel Maddow. The performance of Todd as a moderator, during which he ended up speaking more than all of the presidential contenders on the first night of the debates except for four of them, was roundly criticized by the audience.
