CNN anchor Jake Tapper went viral for his stunned reaction to Vice President Kamala Harris failing to outperform President Joe Biden‘s 2020 results in a single state during the live broadcast of her loss to former President Donald Trump in the 2024 election.
“Holy Smokes! Literally nothing?” Tapper said after asking CNN Chief National Correspondent John King to pull up a graphic showing states where she got at least 3% more than Biden, which instead showed a gray map.
“Literally nothing,” King responded.
“Literally not one county?” Tapper asked again, still shocked by the results.
King then switched the map to show counties instead of states, which revealed that Harris only outperformed Biden by 3% in a total 58 counties.
“So in counties, in 58 counties,” King said. “We just showed Donald Trump was over a thousand counties of the 4,600 counties and townships across America.”
“There might be more out here on the West Coast, possibly one or two more as they finish the count here, but in the states that matter – again, I just showed you all those Trump counties – in one county in battleground Pennsylvania, she’s outperforming President Biden by 3% or more,” he added.
Trump was projected as the winner of the 2024 election early Wednesday (November 6) morning, having defeated Harris in Georgia, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, all three crucial states he’d lost to Biden in 2020.
