The moment liberals realized they’d lost again: CNN’s Jake Tapper says ‘holy smoke’ as the magnitude of Trump’s victory becomes clear

Kamala Harris’ dismal defeat left her underperforming in every state compared to Joe Biden, a damning initial analysis has found.

CNN’s Jake Tapper was among those leading the shocked reaction among liberals as the full extent of Donald Trump’s victory became clear.

Not only was the vice president defeated by the Republican candidate, she did worse than Biden across the board in the 2020 election.

A CNN analysis around 2 a.m. (ET) on Wednesday showed that Harris failed to beat her boss by three percent in any state.

“Holy smokes,” Tapper exclaimed when presented with a card illustrating her lackluster performance. “Literally nothing?”

The 10 a.m. ET totals show Trump leading with 277 electoral college votes, compared to 224 for Harris, according to the Associated Press.

The former president is also expected to win the popular vote, a first for a Republican since 2004.

According to Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ), Trump storms ahead with more than 70 million votes, compared to 66 million for Harris.

Harris, 60, formally lost to Trump, 78, in the early hours of Wednesday after the Republican candidate managed to capture the key swing states of North Carolina, Georgia and Pennsylvania.

AP called Wisconsin at 5:34 a.m. ET on Wednesday and the race just three minutes later.

But the writing was on the wall for the Liberals well before the announcement.

Hours earlier, CNN analyst John King had shown how Harris outperformed Biden’s 2020 results in just 58 counties.

By comparison, Trump was ahead of Biden’s 2020 performance in more than 1,000 of the 4,600 townships and counties in the US.

Harris was drafted in August to replace the 81-year-old Biden amid growing suspicion about his cognitive skills.

CNN’s Jake Tapper couldn’t hide his anger and frustration as the results started rolling in

Her crushing defeat has sparked an anguished response from the left-wing liberal news media and Harris supporters.

MSNBC commentator Joy Reid launched a tirade live on air when Florida turned out to be overwhelmingly in Trump’s favor, criticizing voters and describing the state as under the power of an “extremist, right-wing, fascist government.”

“Think about the last two weeks and the things that Donald Trump has said on television that people could hear him say and do,” she said, growing increasingly angry.

‘The vulgarity in front of families with young children and the threats of mass deportations and a violent start to his dictatorship on the first day, you name it.’

The appearance on MSNBC’s “Election Night” panel was followed by former White House communications director Nicole Wallace, who insisted that Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris were still in a “dead heat” — even as the Republican nominee led in the polls and won two swings. states in North Carolina and Georgia.

“It was always going to be a blue wall night,” she said, refusing to acknowledge that the pivotal state of Pennsylvania, with 19 Electoral College votes, was leaning toward Trump with more than 90% of ballots checked — and ultimately all of his votes awarded to the Republican.

Meanwhile, CNN political analyst and former Obama aide Van Jones looked on the verge of tears as he delivered a somber speech as the vote count piled up in Trump’s favor.

Tension began to build on the channel as results from several swing states poured in and the hosts began to concede defeat hours before the race was called.

Tensions flared on CNN as panelists conducted a post-mortem on Harris’ performance before the results were officially announced.

“This is a blow to Democrats tonight,” said analyst John King. ‘The question is how bad. Kudos to the vice president.”

Shortly afterwards, tensions flared among the panel members as they conducted a post-mortem examination into the loss, again before it had been officially announced.

The comments were gleefully shared on social media by cheerful Trump supporters, who point out that much of the American mainstream media leans to the left and claims that it often misrepresents, misquotes and unfairly targets the Republican candidate.

Strategist Scott Jennings also delivered a sharp indictment of the “political information complex,” noting that the narrative painted about Harris’ chances was “not true.”

“We were told that Puerto Rico was going to change the election, Liz Cheney, Nikki Haley, women lying to their husbands,” Jennings said.

“Before that it was Tim Walz and the camouflage hats. Night after night after night we were told that all these things and gimmicks would somehow push Harris over the line and we ignored the fundamentals – inflation, people feeling like they were barely able to hold water at best to kick – those were the basic principles of the crisis. election.’

He also rebuked the demonization of Trump supporters and encouraged Democrats and the media to engage in more constructive dialogue.

“I think both sides should always look at the outcome of an election and figure out what went right and what went wrong, but for those of us who cover elections we have to figure out how to understand half of the election, deal with it talk and listen to it. of the country that stood up tonight and said, “We’ve had enough,” Jennings added.

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.”

Her despondent supporters lost hope and abandoned election party events as it became increasingly clear that former President Trump was headed for victory.

Scenes of tearful Liberals were recreated across the country at watch parties, where supporters looked increasingly desperate, and even at “Democrats Abroad” rallies in places like Britain and Kenya.

Trump won a remarkable victory, similar to his successful White House run in 2016.

He becomes the first president in more than 130 years – and only the second in history – to win a non-consecutive second term.

The initial reaction to Harris’ defeat has placed some of the blame on her failure to convince America that she represented a break with the Biden administration.

Harris became the Democratic nominee after Biden resigned amid intense scrutiny over whether he had the mental capacity to run for a second term.
