MSNBC confirms that Rachel Maddow is sick at home while her raspy voice hints at COVID-19. Let’s uncover the latest details of her illness and health.
Rachel Maddow is one of the most familiar names in the world of news and commentary. Few voices are as iconic as this television host, renowned for her incisive wit and insightful analysis. A staple of MSNBC for years, Maddow is no stranger to finding herself in the spotlight. This time, however, it’s not for one of her remarks on air.
Recently, Rachel Maddow is making headlines not for what she’s saying, but more for how she’s saying it. On 24 July 2024, Maddow called in from home to share her thoughts on President Biden’s Oval Office address, where he explained his decision to withdraw from the presidential race. Her raspy voice convinced viewers that she’s battling a familiar foe: COVID-19.
Rachel Maddow Is Currently Sick With COVID-19
Rachel Maddow has once again contracted COVID-19, but she’s far from alone, as a summer wave of the virus is rampant across the United States. The much-familiar enemy of the world, the dreaded coronavirus, is spreading rapidly in the Western states with people gathering for vacations and events. Even Maddow, who is never scared to challenge the political giants, has no choice but to succumb to this tiny adversary, which is currently having a field day across the nation.
Despite being unwell, Maddow does not wish to let her voice go unheard. This week, she phoned into her own network, MSNBC, trading the studio lights for the comfort of her home.
Not everyone was a fan of her decision, however. One user tweeted:
Rachel Maddow called in sick with a raspy voice and had the nerve to comment on Biden’s voice while he’s recovering from COVID. Never expected this from @MSNBC . Lawrence and Katie were the only true professionals during the pst few weeks.
Her raspy commentary on President Biden’s recent address was notable, not just for its content, but for the fact that she is also forced to stay on the sidelines because of COVID. Many viewers subsequently wondered if her recent appearances had put others at risk.
A tweet read:
Commentary on Biden’s address tonight after his most recent bout of Covid via phone from a sick Rachel Maddow. Well, at least she didn’t come into the studio. Wonder if she was contageous the last couple of nights she was on the air?
The question of how much the virus spread in the studio is in the minds of many. In one of the broadcasts, someone had coughed off-camera, believed to be Al Sharpton.
A Twitter thread reads:
I think Al Sharpton was coughing non-stop near her yesterday or the day before? Or was he near Nicole Wallace?
Somebody was coughing really badly off camera a few days ago.
Yes! I think it might have been Sharpton, he was in studio at the time, off-camera during the coughs and sounded really bad.
The pandemic may feel like old news to some, but it’s still very much here and continues to persist.

She was full of praise for Biden, claiming it was a historic moment, highlighting the president prioritizing democracy over personal interests.
The MSNBC host pointed out Biden’s call for honesty, decency, and unity, something his authoritarian opponents sorely lack. Rachel Maddow perceived this as a selfless act from Joe Biden, who is aiming to bring together the nation, especially during this latest COVID-19 surge.
