CNN RATINGS COLLAPSE!

CNN's coverage of the historic 2024 election was co-anchored by presenters Anderson Cooper and Jake Tapper, with 5.1 million viewers tuning in to watch the network's linear TV coverage of the night, a 44 percent decline in total viewers compared with the 2020 election. From 6 p.m. through 3 a.m., ET CNN had a total of 3.8 million viewers, also a 44 percent decline in total viewers compared to 2020.

Now Chris Wallace is leaving CNN due to an attempt to cut his salary, and there are likely more layoffs on the way.
