Rachel Maddow led cable news in overall ratings and in the 25 to 54 age demographic at 9 p.m. for the second Monday in a row.

Maddow notched 2.43 million viewers on her weekly show, beating out Hannity on Fox News, which clocked in with 2.34 million. The longtime MSNBC fixture also eked out her Fox News counterpart in the demo, 277,000 viewers to 272,000. Hannity has long dominated the 9 p.m. hour.

Her program focused primarily on Monday’s deadly mass shooting in Louisville, a conservative judge’s decision to restrict access to an abortion drug, and the ongoing drama in the Tennessee House of Representatives.
