MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace has seen ratings plunge since Trump prevailed on Election Day

 

President called on her to resign for a remark about 13-year-old cancer survivor DJ Daniel at a joint session

 

MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace, who generated headlines this week for widely criticized comments about a 13-year-old cancer survivor featured in President Donald Trump's address to a joint session of Congress, has seen her ratings suffer since Democrats lost power. 

 

Wallace’s MSNBC program, "Deadline: White House," averaged 1.6 million viewers from the start of 2024 until Election Day, then saw a dramatic 35% drop once Trump prevailed. For the remainder of 2024, "Deadline: White House" averaged just over one million viewers as its liberal audience largely tuned out the news on the heels of Trump’s victory. 

 

"Deadline: White House" saw a similar decline in the advertiser-coveted demographic of adults aged 25-54, averaging 144,000 demo viewers in 2024 before the election but shedding 35% to settle for an average demo audience of 93,000 following the devastating loss for Democrats.
