Kristen Welker will host the final presidential debate showdown Thursday, though it appears that President Donald Trump may spar with her almost as much as he will with his Democratic rival, Joe Biden.
The NBC News White House correspondent and "Weekend Today" co-anchor will moderate the debate at Belmont University in Nashville (9 EDT/6 PDT).
