The polls haven't closed in Georgia yet as voters decide the make-or-break election for Republicans. While exit polls have numbers out, they ignore a whopping 3 million previously cast ballots in the state. So, the election-night conversation turned to news station loyalty based on the numbers cruncher of choice: CNN's John King or MSNBC's Steve Kornacki.
John king and Steve kornacki is like Andre Agassi and Boris Becker competing for Wimbledon 😬 https://t.co/HeSV2Djvq8— i 😎Troll 🇺🇸🏴🇮🇳 (@i 😎Troll 🇺🇸🏴🇮🇳) 1609887944.0
There's a slate of Kornacki loyalists who led to a flood of celebration for his non-stop dedication to the 2020 election results. The MSNBC host pledged ahead of the election that he wouldn't leave the studio until a winner was called. As the results crept into its third-day colleagues were taking over for him so he could catch a nap in his office.
Kornacki has one thing going for him: unfaltering loyalty from former SNL cast member, gameshow host and actress Leslie Jones.
YASSSSSSSSSS MY LOVE STEVE IS BACK!!! #KornackiThirstcontinues https://t.co/ynK4D87Bhr— Leslie Jones 🦋 (@Leslie Jones 🦋) 1609885649.0
King, some argued, has a gravitas that is lost in Kornacki's enthusiasm. His quiet demeanor seems preferable to those who can't sustain such a hefty degree of excitement.
This is how John King and Steve Kornacki strolled into work today. https://t.co/774gaaK0Ng— Jason Benefield (@Jason Benefield) 1609888306.0
