MSNBC saw some rosier results on Tuesday as both Deadline: White House with Nicole Wallace and The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell pulled in over a million total viewers, even as the total primetime audience fell just short of that mark. The network also drew dead even with CNN in the primetime demo, although the latter finished first among A25-54 viewers across total day.
