MSNBC pundit Rachel Maddow will return to her post hosting a prime-time show on the network five nights a week for President-elect Trump’s first 100 days in office, the network announced on Monday.
As part of the special programming shift, Maddow will host MSNBC’s 9 p.m. hour, which she currently presides over only once a week.
During that time frame, host Alex Wagner will travel the country to follow “the biggest stories as they develop in real-time during Trump’s first 100 days in office, reporting on the impact of his early promises and policies on the electorate,” the cable news channel said.
Wagner was hired as a full-time host by MSNBC in 2022 after Maddow announced she was shifting her focus away from the nightly show to work on other projects at the outlet.
Maddow, one of MSNBC’s most recognizable hosts, is an outspoken Trump critic who has repeatedly warned viewers about the threats she says the incoming president poses to democracy.
The longtime cable news pundit was a staple of the network’s prime-time coverage of the Republican and Democratic National Conventions, presidential debates and Election Night broadcasts in 2024.
After April 30, “The Rachel Maddow Show” will return to its regular schedule of Mondays at 9 p.m., the network said, while Wagner will return to anchoring “Alex Wagner Tonight” Tuesday through Friday.
