On 14 November 2016, ABC's GMA and NBC's Today pressed Reince Priebus over his future role as chief of staff to Donald Trump. NBC's Matt Lauer hyped that "to some, you're an odd choice for chief of staff, because they've...heard Donald Trump say....we're going counter to the establishment. You are the establishment. You're the ultimate insider." Both newscasts also hounded Priebus over Trump's pick of Steve Bannon as chief strategist. ABC's George Stephanopoulos touted how " a top aide to...Harry Reid saying this 'signals that white supremacists will be represented at the highest levels of the Trump White House.'"
