The 44-year-old has been an NBC White House correspondent since 2011, where she gained a reputation for being a tough questioner.
Notably, it was discovered Welker was a registered Democrat in Washington, D.C. as recently as 2012. Her family has historically given thousands of dollars to Democrat candidates, including Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and even Joe Biden.
