Kamala Harris

As a second domino fell to former President Donald Trump late Tuesday, CNN anchors called it "very, very bad news" for Vice President Kamala Harris and pointed to a "flashing light" that spelled doom for her in a critical battleground state.

As CNN projected a Trump win in Georgia, Dana Bash delivered a grim assessment of Harris' chances.

CNN anchor Chris Wallace said Tuesday night that, as the map looks increasingly in favor of Donald Trump reaching the 270 electoral vote threshold, the moment feels “more like 2016 than 2020.”

The former Fox New host told his fellow CNN anchors during the network's election night coverage that it was just before midnight four years ago that Fox News made “the very controversial call” in Arizona.

The state of Georgia has been called for Donald Trump in the presidential election. The result was called by NBC News and CNN.

It's a major battleground result, with significant implications for the overall winner of the presidential election.

As former President Donald Trump drew closer to reclaiming the White House — despite a criminal conviction, authoritarian threats against "enemies," former allies who reported he praised Nazis, signs of cognitive decline and a running mate who says people without children are sociopaths — his critics cast angry glares at one person.

"Reminder that Trump would just be an angry retiree shouting at the TV right now had [Sen.] Mitch McConnell decided to do the right thing after 1/6," New Yorker staff writer Susan Glasser wrote on X. "Amazing."

A CNN roundtable on Tuesday debated the apparent strong performance of former President Donald Trump in the 2024 election, following his apparent locking down of North Carolina — and the subject turned to how voters perceive the economy.

"Generally speaking, he is overperforming with what he did in 2020 and she is underperforming what Joe Biden did in 2020. At this point, it's a narrow defeat for Harris," said Chris Wallace.

Vice President Kamala Harris' path to 270 electoral votes all but hinges on a "massive overperformance" in the suburbs of Philadelphia as she trails in the critical battleground state, according to a political insider.

Tara Palmeri, senior political correspondent at Puck News, took to X on Tuesday night to share insights from a senior Democratic official in Pennsylvania.

"The Daily Show" host Jon Stewart opened his live election night coverage by cracking a joke about his own audience's enthusiasm — as former President Donald Trump took a commanding lead over Vice President Kamala Harris — and chided a Democratic senator who apparently canceled on the show seconds before he was to appear.

As the audience erupted into cheers, Stewart joked: "That is the sound of a crowd that does not have access to a television set and does not know what's happening in the world."

The state of North Carolina has been called for Donald Trump in the presidential contest. The Washington Post and the New York Times made the prediction.

North Carolina was heavily targeted in the final days of the campaign by both Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump.

Former President Donald Trump's team has become increasingly ecstatic as election results suggest his followers may need not to storm the U.S. Capitol as they did on Jan. 6, 2021.

Trump's growing lead in swing states across the nation has perked up the vibe at Mar-a-Lago — the social club where the former president faced criminal charges linked to hoarding classified information in a bathroom, among other places, according to CNN's Kaitlan Collins.

Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign has fallen into radio silence as they search for any remaining path for outstanding votes to deliver them an election victory, CNN's Abby Phillip told Jake Tapper on Tuesday evening.

"Let me just give you a gut check here about what we are hearing here, as we've been sitting here reporting from the Harris headquarters," said Phillip. "And I think the operative word right now is silence. There's not a lot being said, because the Harris team appears to be searching for bright spots in the map, as these results very very, very slowly come in."

Former Vice President Kamala Harris' strong position in two vital swing states suggests the election could be decided in one whose most populous city former President Donald Trump notoriously described as "horrible," a Washington Post analyst said.

Columnist E.J. Dionne wrote Tuesday night that he was impressed by Harris' showing in Pennsylvania — where she's taken a strong lead in several crucial counties — and Michigan.

The New York Times delivered its first presidential estimate Tuesday night as results poured in from Georgia and North Carolina.

Nate Cohn, chief political analyst for the Times, noted around 9:20 p.m. ET that the paper of record was making its first estimate on election night.

Vice President Kamala Harris has taken a strong lead in several swing state counties, one of which typically go the way of the nation, according to a CNN analysis.

Pennsylvania voters in Erie — a "bellwether county" that can go red or blue — had gone for Harris over former President Donald Trump at a split of about 59 percent to 40 percent as of 9:20 p.m., CNN analyst John King reported Tuesday night,
