Are you prepared for a similar scenario this November? Jeb Bush during the Florida recount that followed the 2000 election. And I wouldn’t obviously as someone covering the Biden administration. But I never kind of sit on TV and try to just talk about the world from the viewpoint of a former Bush or McCain Republican, ever. And I think most of my sources, because of the nature of the presidency in which I worked, are former national security officials. I try to remember when these stories were written about my administration. So I guess my answer is: I don’t wake up every day and say, ‘What does the news look like for a never-Trump Republican?’ I still call people working on the campaign and try to cover him. So I just never think of myself as, ‘How am I going to cover this story as a never-Trumper?’ I said on television in 2015 that I was never going to be a voter available to Donald Trump because of what he said when he came down the escalator, and what he said about John McCain. If the story is about a terrorist attack, I call the people that worked in counter-terror when I was in the government and ask them to explain what it is that we don’t know. If the story on the front page of the paper is all about the intelligence community, I call the people that I knew in the intelligence community and have them explain the stories to me. I just never think of myself in any one way. If former Vice President Joe Biden takes over the White House, what will your positioning be? You’re perceived as a “never-Trumper” Republican. Wallace, a native of Orinda, Calif., spoke to The Times from her Connecticut home, where she was preparing to help anchor two weeks of MSNBC’s prime-time coverage of the Democratic and Republican nominating conventions, which begins Monday at 5 p.m. “She brings a different perspective to the MSNBC lineup.” “She brings a lot of credibility because she’s not hyper-partisan, and viewers respond to that,” said Katie Couric, who during her stint as anchor of the “CBS Evening News” featured Wallace as a Republican analyst.
