MSNBC host Rachel Maddow announced Monday she is returning to her five-day-a-week nightly program for President-elect Donald Trump’s first 100 days in the White House.
Maddow, who currently hosts “The Rachel Maddow Show” on Monday nights, will be reverting to a full week of primetime programming for the beginning of Trump’s second presidency, she told USA Today in a Monday interview. She said the media is already witnessing the “freneticism of the Trump news cycle” emerging during the transition period and needs to be “ready to adapt.”
“We’re already seeing the freneticism of the Trump news cycle taking over, even during the transition … so, we’re trying to be ready for anything, and that’s part of why we’re making this change for the first 100 days,” Maddow said.
MSNBC’s ratings plummeted by 53% immediately following Trump’s defeat of Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election, according to the New York Times. The network’s primetime ratings are currently down 58% since the election, a sharper decline than most post-election ratings nosedives.
