Rachel Maddow Returns to Nightly MSNBC Show for Trump's First 100 Days

MSNBC adjusts its primetime lineup, with Maddow anchoring five nights a week and Alex Wagner reporting from the field to cover the new administration's early days.

Rachel Maddow will host 'The Rachel Maddow Show' five nights a week from January 20 to April 30, 2025, to focus on the first 100 days of Donald Trump's second term as president.
Alex Wagner will temporarily step away from her regular primetime slot to report on-the-ground stories for 'Trumpland: The First 100 Days,' examining the impact of Trump’s policies across the U.S. and abroad.
MSNBC's decision follows significant post-election ratings declines, with Maddow's Monday show consistently outperforming the network's other primetime programs.
The network has seen a recent uptick in viewership, with Maddow's coverage of key events like the House Speaker vote drawing increased audiences.
MSNBC's broader strategy includes new programming and initiatives from other anchors, such as Jen Psaki's podcast and Chris Hayes' misinformation-focused segment, to engage progressive viewers during Trump's early presidency.
