The media that spent much of 2024 sounding the alarm former President Trump is a threat to democracy didn’t take it particularly well when he started believing he would win on election night.

Fox News predicts Trump will become the 47th president of the United States, despite years of unflattering coverage from mainstream media.

Faced with this emerging reality, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow suggested that Trump would ban abortion nationwide by executive order, while her colleague Alex Wagner grappled with the reality that MAGA is a real movement with “legs.”

CBS’s Gayle King expressed concern about Trump’s unchecked leadership, saying it “looks like he’ll be in power with no guardrails.”

MSNBC’s Joy Reid said, “No one wants Donald Trump to be president more than (Israeli Prime Minister) Bibi Netanyahu, who is backed by a far-right coalition that would cut off Gaza…a complete ethnic cleansing of Gaza.” »

Liberal pundits and journalists started sweating around 10 p.m. ET, after Iowa was called to support Trump, as many talking heads had taken over. shocking data from a pollster J. Ann Selzer this weekend claimed that Vice President Kamala Harris has a lead in the state as gospel.

“It’s starting to look like an autopsy,” Lester Holt said on NBC.

MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace asked what kind of information young men were looking at to assume the economy would improve under Trump. The liberal website BuzzFeed shared an all-blue card with the caption: “We ran 80,000 simulations. Trump was a little asshole in every one of them.”

MSNBC analyst Molly Jong-Fast deleted an X-rated post from earlier in the night that predicted “Harris will win.” She then posted “I’m going to throw up” on Instagram.

As Pennsylvania began to look like it would favor Trump, NBC panelists criticized Harris for spending too much time campaigning in the state when she could have chosen popular Gov. Josh Shapiro as her running mate .

As midnight approached on the East Coast, MSNBC’s Jen Psaki appeared on NBC and suggested that questions about whether President Biden was a better candidate than Harris would soon become part of the discussion.

“If you’re on the campaign trail right now, you’re feeling pretty depressed,” said Psaki, who served as Biden’s first press secretary.

CNN’s John King pointed out that Trump dominated Waukesha County in Wisconsin and said, “This is a place where the Harris campaign was hoping, ‘Hey women, you don’t have to tell your husband who you are going to vote. » ‘”

On MSNBC, Reid essentially blamed white women for Harris’ defeat in North Carolina.

“Black voters voted for Kamala Harris, but white voters didn’t. That’s what seems to have happened in this state,” Reid told viewers.

“This will be the second opportunity that white women in this country will have to change the way they interact with the patriarchy,” she continued. “If people aren’t receptive to it, and they vote more along party lines, or more on race than gender, and to protect their gender, there’s really not much more you can do .”

THREE INCREDIBLE WAYS THE FAR-LEFT MEDIA HELPED TRUMP WIN AGAIN

Far-left pundit Elie Mystal agreed and posted: “Blacks did their job. Trump’s gains with Latinos were real. Trump is their man. The end.”

Liberal blogger Aaron Rupar basically said that Americans are racist.

“If Trump wins, there will be efforts to blame Russian interference, the Harris or Biden campaign, etc. That’s what he ran on. And here we are,” Rupar wrote on X.

Shortly before 1 a.m. ET, CNN’s Tapper said anyone would rather be in Trump’s position than Harris’, since Georgia was called for the former president.

“If she doesn’t win Pennsylvania, it’s over,” CNN’s Dana Bash said.

CNN then broadcast Harris campaign co-chair Cedric Richmond announcing that Harris would not speak to her supporters on election night. It echoed 2016, when Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman John Podesta spoke briefly to a somber crowd before announcing she would not run.

“It’s not the sound of a big crowd, it’s not a party atmosphere,” CNN’s Audie Cornish said before Bash compared it to Clinton’s infamous 2016 Javits Center event.

Tapper appeared somber and said he had to “admit” that the Harris campaign had taken a major risk in trying to attract “secret” voters.

NBC’s Chuck Todd called out Democrats for a “total misreading” of Latino voters by using terms like “Latinx.”

CNN’s Van Jones thought fondly of the people who were “suffering” because of the results.

“I think of the people who are not part of anyone’s elite and who are suffering tonight. There are African-American women who know a little that they have to be put down, who know a little that their economic dreams are shattered , who have been trying to dream a big dream for the last two months, and tonight they’re trading a lot of hope for a lot of pain,” Jones said.

“They were hoping that maybe, this time, one of their own could be considered worthy,” Jones continued. “Once again they face rejection.”

Jones then told CNN viewers that black women aren’t the only ones who “suffer.”

“If you’re a parent of a trans child, your child’s face has been used as a stepping stone to power for someone. It doesn’t feel good,” Jones said.

HARRIS WILL NOT SPEAK ABOUT HOWARD UNIVERSITY ON ELECTION NIGHT AS EXPECTED

On PBS, Jonathan Capehart said he was “mystified” that Trump gained support from 2020.

“Who are we as a country? I’m not sure I like that,” Capehart said. He then added: “I can’t help but wonder if the American people have given up on democracy. »

“The View” co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin told CNN that Harris was hurt by Biden’s “unpopularity,” but that the vice president was respectful by choosing not to dump her boss “under the bus”.

Liberal pundits realized there was no path to victory for Harris once Pennsylvania was called for Trump at 1 a.m. Eastern. Shortly after, Trump addressed his supporters.

“He will effectively be a one-term president,” Lester Holt told NBC viewers.

Indeed, Trump will never run for president again, but he may have done the most surprising political return in American history.
