‘Unique insight?’ Rachel Maddow returns to 5 nights a week for first 100 days of Trump

January 17, 2025 | | Print Article

President-elect Donald Trump’s first 100 days in office will usher back Rachel Maddow to a nightly primetime slot on MSNBC.

The far-left critic of the former and future president will be offering her “unique insight” as she returns to the air five nights a week after “The Rachel Maddow Show” has only been airing once a week since 2022 where she reportedly pulled in an audience of 2.3 million viewers in 2024.

Maddow told USA Today in an interview that she is expecting a “very intense news cycle” once Trump returns to the White House next week

“We’re already seeing the freneticism of the Trump news cycle taking over, even during the transition,” she said. “We’re seeing the unpredictable cadence of the way news breaks as opposed to a more competent rational administration. So we’ll see; we’re trying to be ready for anything, and that’s part of why we’re making this change for the first 100 days.”

“If this shambolic transition is anything to go on, the second Trump term is going to affect a lot of Americans, and they’re going to want to pay attention,” the conspiracy theorist and Trump-hater continued.

The MSNBC lineup change is a temporary one as Maddow said “on April 30 we will go back to our existing schedule.”

“That is a hard stop. When Rashida asked me to do this, that was the discussion,” she said, referring to MSNBC chief Rashida Jones

USA Today noted that MSNBC’s prime-time ratings have been down 58% since the November 2024 election, “a sharper drop than typical post-election ratings dips.”

Social media users on X exposed the ongoing Trump Derangement Syndrome at the network and Maddow’s return.
