MSNBC Host Rachel Maddow Admits Successor Jen Psaki Is ‘Better’ Than Her
MSNBC has officially transitioned its 9 p.m. Et primetime slot from veteran anchor Rachel Maddow to former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, marking a significant shift in the network’s evening lineup. This change is part of a broader programming overhaul under new MSNBC President Rebecca Kutler, aiming to adapt to the evolving media landscape and audience preferences.
