Jeanine Pirro Blows a Gasket Over FBI's Trump Raid

As the news of the FBI’s raid on Donald Trump’s Florida mansion continued to dominate cable news on Tuesday, all three networks saw a boost in the ratings.

On Monday night, MSNBC saw its highest-rated prime time since February 2021 for regularly scheduled programming.

That trend continued into Tuesday morning as Morning Joe raked in well over a million viewers across its 4 hours — MSNBC prime time, however, did not continue to see the same boost as Monday.

Fox & Friends remained the dominant morning news program nearing 2 million total viewers in its 8 a.m. hour.

Fox News continued to lead overall, beating both MSNBC and CNN combined in total viewers and the key 25-54 age demographic for the day. The Five won overall in total viewers with a whopping 4.05 million total viewers.

Here is a full breakdown of Tuesday’s cable news ratings by show:
