Viewers were quick to point out the “horrible look on the faces of the other commentators,” including flagship CNN anchor Anderson Cooper, as they wordlessly stared at Jennings as his words took hold.
Americans online praised the Kentucky-born pundit’s two-minute speech as “the best post-election analysis ever” because it perfectly captured how they had felt “stuffed” and “gaslit” by Democrats.

“I interpret the results tonight as revenge from just the plain old working-class American, the faceless American who has been crushed, insulted and condescended to,” Jennings said.
“They’re not trash, they’re not Nazis. They’re just regular people who get up every day and go to work and try to build a better life for their children, and they feel like they’ve been told to just shut up when they’ve complained about the things that hurt them. in their own lives.’
Jennings summarized Trump’s victory as a “mandate” to “get the economy working again for regular working class Americans, fix immigration, try to get crime under control, try to reduce the chaos in the world.”
He also criticized political pundits for thinking that “gimmicks” like “Tim Walz and the camouflage hats” would win the election, while ‘ignoring the fundamentals’ such as ‘inflation’ and ‘people feeling like they are barely able to tread water at best’.
“For all of us who cover elections, we have to figure out how to understand, talk to and listen to the half of the country that stood up tonight and said, we’ve had enough,” Jennings said.

Viewers on X/Twitter praised Jennings’ comment for perfectly capturing the feelings of many everyday Americans during this election season
Viewers said they were “shocked” to see someone tell “the absolute unadulterated truth” on CNN. “I honestly didn’t think it was possible,” one person commented.
“It feels weird to hear Scott Jennings talk and not get yelled at. Right?’ another person agreed.
One viewer described his summary of how ordinary Americans had voted as “just right.” “Stop straw manning and gaslighting!” she wrote.
‘We ARE not stupid, racist, xenophobic or bigots! We ARE hard-working, family-first, God-following, peace-loving people who want the best for our families, our neighbors, our country and then the world! Don’t lie to us and fire us!’
“This election should serve as a wake-up call for DC Elites, Hollywood Elites and media activists,” said another.
Trump on Wednesday became the first president in more than 130 years — and only the second in history — to win a non-consecutive second term.
Viewers were quick to point out the “horrible look on the faces of the other commentators,” including flagship CNN anchor Anderson Cooper, as they wordlessly stared at Jennings as his words sunk in.

His defeat of Vice President Kamala Harris marks a remarkable return for a twice-impeached president.
He left office in 2021 over claims he incited an attack on the U.S. Capitol and was convicted earlier this year on multiple corporate fraud charges.
The 78-year-old politician will also become the oldest president ever inaugurated, beating President Joe Biden’s record by five months.
Trump secured his remarkable victory on an evening reminiscent of 2016, capturing the key swing states of North Carolina, Georgia and Pennsylvania.
Harris never conceded the race. Instead, former Rep. Cedric Richmond — her campaign co-chair — said after midnight Wednesday that the vice president would not address supporters until “tomorrow.”
Trump’s victory ends a tumultuous 2024 campaign — marked by Biden’s dramatic withdrawal from the race in July, as well as two shocking attempts on Trump’s life.
But his inflammatory rhetoric and penchant for personal attacks mean he will now lead a divided country that shows few signs of healing.
