Trump will not be the rankings draw he was, and the most important proof but is that Rachel Maddow’s interview with Liz Cheney drew the identical variety of viewers as his Hannity city corridor.
Fox Information was bragging in regards to the viewership for the Trump/Hannity interview:
Fox Information is touting its rankings for Hannity’s city corridor with Trump – notable for a couple of causes. First, Trump will not be the large rankings magnet that he was.

The quantity of people that watched Trump’s city corridor on Hannity was 3.16 million viewers. The quantity of people that watched Rachel Maddow’s interview with Liz Cheney was 3.15 million viewers. Each networks rounded as much as declare an viewers of three.2 million viewers.
The viewership numbers illustrate that there is no such thing as a Trump-supporting silent majority, at the very least in relation to TV viewers. Hannity is probably the most watched conservative in primetime, and even he couldn’t increase Trump out of his rankings stagnation.
On the MSNBC facet, the power of Rachel Maddow and Liz Cheney to equal Trump and Hannity means that there are simply as many cable information watchers on the market who will vote for Trump as those that will.
Donald Trump is now not a rankings machine, and the truth that so many individuals refuse to neglect in regards to the 1/6 assault equals a double whammy for Republicans who’re waiting for 2024.
