MSNBC Ups Rachel Maddow to Five Nights, Sends Alex Wagner Into Field for Trump’s First 100 Days
MSNBC will shuffle primetime during Trump's first 100 days in office, with Alex Wagner reporting from the field while Rachel Maddow anchors 9 p.m.
Maddow, who scaled back anchoring duties after the spring of 2022, holding forth only on Mondays, will return to five nights a week at that hour as part of a broader move by MSNBC to draw viewership to its coverage of the first 100 days of the Trump administration. Alex Wagner, who anchors 9 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, will take on a special assignment: traveling the U.S. and overseas in a bid to talk to both newsmakers tied to and people affected by Trump polices during his critical first weeks in office. Her journeys through what her MSNBC reports will call “Trumpland” aren’t looking to indulge in what has by now become a cable-news standby: interviewing MAGA die-hards who support debunked claims about news events or national policy.
