Ayman Mohyeldin will host MSNBC Live at 3pm.

Wallace who hosted Deadline: White House since 2017 has seen her show's ratings improve during the Trump presidency and Mueller investigation. Her criticisms of Trump has made her very popular among progressives and conservatives who are critical of Trump.

She served as an advisor to then president George W. Bush and helped him through successful reelection.

Wallace was then a Special Assistant to the President and Director of Media Affairs at the White House where she oversaw regional press strategy and outreach. She was the communications director for the Bush reelection.

Wallace served as the White House Communications Director in 2005 and left after serving a year with the Bush Administration.

She served as a senior advisor to the John McCain presidential campaign. She was the top defender and spokesperson for the McCain campaign. Wallace would end up having a fallout with McCain over the selection of Sarah Palin as his running mate.

Palin proved to be a disaster for McCain.

Wallace was a Republican for most of her time but left the party shortly after Trump got into office.

She as well former McCain chief strategist Steve Schmidt have found the Republican Party straying from its core base to Trumpism.

Wallace who was the former co-host of The View joined MSNBC in 2015 as a political analyst. She was a frequent contributor and guest host on MSNBC programs in the past.
