NBC News announced the class of nine journalists who will be deployed to cover 2024 presidential candidates and battleground states, tracking every movement of campaigns as the race unfolds.
The embeds, as they are called, serve as the eyes and ears on the ground for the NBCU news platforms, and are expected to do everything from research to shoot b-roll and live events, file digital stories and do on-air reporting.
This cycle’s class of embeds includes Emma Barnett, an associate producer for NBC News Now’s Hallie Jackson Now who previously worked on the Morning News Now team; Sarah Dean, producer for Meet the Press, where she has served as Chuck Todd’s anchor producer for the Sunday broadcast and produces guest interviews and writes the weekly Data Download segment; Nnamdi Egwuonwu, segment producer for MSNBC’s The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell and previously Zerlina on Peacock; Jillian Frankel,...

Jen Psaki slipped into the studio with seconds to spare.
It was the evening of Nov. 1, a week before the 2022 midterm elections, and the NBC News political unit (not to mention its contributors, like the former White House press secretary) were in overdrive. Just a few minutes earlier Psaki had been in a remote studio appearing on Chris Hayes’ MSNBC program, now she had rushed downstairs to the NBC Washington bureau’s ground floor studio, where she joined anchors Chuck Todd and Kristen Welker as part of a primetime special to tee up the midterms.
The network pulled out all of the stops, with 11 correspondents appearing live from across the country, panelists including Psaki, Senator Claire McCaskill and former North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory, and Steve Kornacki analyzing key races at his signature touch screen.

NBC News is going to get out of Washington in January of 2022 so it can figure out who will be coming to Washington in 2024.
When Chuck Todd appears on MSNBC’s “Meet The Press Daily” Wednesday and Thursday, he will do so from Georgia, where he will meet Georgia officials and candidates for office, all part of a bid by NBC News to fan out across the nation to find the most important stories that will affect this year’s midterms and the 2024 presidential race.
“You cannot be a national news organization and cover the campaign process from Washington and New York,” says Carrie Budoff Brown, the NBC News senior vice president who oversees “Meet The Press” and has been assigned to supervise the division’s midterms coverage. “You really need to get out of those two places.”
Over the next weeks and months, NBC News correspondents will seek out...

Updated with arrest information: U.S. Marshals arrested Benjamin Eugene Dagley on Thursday at a shopping plaza in Dayton, Ohio, and the Gulfport Police Department in Mississippi has filed criminal charges against the man it says accosted MSNBC reporter Shaquille Brewster during an on-air live segment Monday.
Dagley was charged by the Gulfport police with two counts of simple assault, one count of disturbing the peace and one count of violating an emergency curfew. Simple assault typically involves minor injury or a limited threat of violence.
The arrest was announced by U.S. Marshal Pete Elliott and Ohio’s Wayne County Sheriff Travis Hutchinson, who said in a press release that Dagley was arrested in the shopping plaza after authorities located his white pickup truck in the parking lot.

For a moment during his broadcast, the weather was no longer the chief concern for NBC News correspondent Shaquille Brewster. The journalist took to Instagram on Monday, Aug. 30 to address an incident from earlier that day in Gulfport, Miss., during which a man confronted Shaquille as he was delivering a live MSNBC segment about Tropical Storm Ida. "Overwhelmed by the love and support today after what was definitely the wildest moment I've had on air," the reporter posted. "Our team joked about it afterwards, but it was without a doubt as scary for us as it was for you all watching. While that one report was interrupted, we were right back up in the next hour and will continue...

NBC News’ Shaquille Brewster had to toss back to Craig Melvin when a seemingly angry person accosted him in the field while he reported on Hurricane Ida.
Brewster was doing a live shot in Mississippi and was in the middle of telling MSNBC viewers that the return of postal services after the devastating storm was a good sign when a man got out of his vehicle and approached. Brewster reoriented the shot, moving away from the man, but just before Melvin took back over from the studio, the man was seen getting in the correspondent’s face.
It was hard to hear what the man was saying, but he seemed to be yelling, “Report it accurately!”
A visibly alarmed Melvin said, “We’re going to check in with Shaq Brewster just to make sure all is well. There is a lot of crazy out there.” Later, Melvin told viewers that Brewster was,...

Shaquille Brewster, an NBC News and MSNBC correspondent, was doing a live shot on the Hurricane Ida aftermath in Gulfport, Ms, when a man jumped out of a white pickup truck and ran toward him and began shouting something at him.
Brewster tried to reorient the crew away from the intrusion, telling host Craig Melvin, “I am going to turn this way, because we deal with some people every once in while.” He then went on with his live shot, but then said he would throw it back to Melvin as the man continued shouting. The man then got back into the frame and confronted Brewster face to face.
“Hey, hey, hey, hey,” Melvin responded, telling viewers, ‘We’re going to check back in with Shaq Brewster just to make sure all is well. There’s a lot of crazy out there. A lot of crazy.”

Update, 2:23 Pm Pt: Jury deliberations are beginning in the Derek Chauvin trial after a day-long series of closing arguments as to whether the former Minneapolis police officer is guilty of murder in the death of George Floyd.
With the jury out of the room, Judge Peter A. Cahill denied a defense motion for a mistrial based on remarks made by Rep. Maxine Waters (D-ca). But the judge did say that it could form a basis for an appeal.
“I will give you that Congresswoman Waters may have given you something on appeal that may result in this whole trial being overturned,” he said.
Waters told reporters on Saturday that she hoped that for a verdict of “guilty, guilty, guilty, and if we don’t, we cannot go away.” Asked what protesters should do, she said, “We have got to stay on the street. We have got to get more active.
