CNN’s Jake Tapper shocked to study Kamala did not carry out higher than Biden anyplace within the nation: ‘Holy smokes’

CNN’s Jake Tapper was left stunned after preliminary analysis showed that Kamala Harris failed to convincingly outperform Joe Biden across any state.

The Vice President not only lost to Donald Trump, but appears to have unperformed across the board compared to Joe Biden in the 2020 election.

Analysis by CNN at around 2am (ET)  Wednesday revealed that Harris failed to out perform her boss by three percent in any state.

The stark statistics prompted shock from Tapper after he was presented with a map illustrating the dismal performance.

‘Holy smokes,’ Tapper exclaimed. ‘Literally nothing?’

The analyst went on to explain that Harris was outperforming Biden in just 58 counties.

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

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

Associated Press called Wisconsin at 5.34am (ET) Wednesday and the race just three minutes later.

Harris never conceded the race. Instead former Rep. Cedric Richmond – her campaign co-chair – said after midnight Wednesday that the vice president would not be addressing supporters until ‘tomorrow.’

Her despondent supporters lost hope and abandoned election party events as it became increasingly apparent former president Trump was heading for victory.

Scenes of teary liberals were replicated across the country at watch parties across the US, where supporters were pictured looking increasingly forlorn, and even at ‘Democrats Abroad’ gatherings in the likes of the UK and Kenya.

Trump pulled off a remarkable victory similar to his successful White House run in 2016. 

He will become the first president in over 130 years – and only the second in history – to win a non-consecutive second term. 

Initial reaction to Harris’ defeat has partly laid the blame on her failure to convince America she represented a break with the Biden administration. 

Harris became the Democrat nominee in August after Biden, 81, stepped down amid intense scrutiny over whether he had the mental capacity to run for a second term.

Harris’ nomination became official after a five-day round of online balloting by Democratic National Convention delegates, with the party saying that she had 99 percent support.

She experienced an initial boost in support, but it was not sustained enough to deliver a win.

Trump’s victory has prompted an anguished reaction from the left liberal news media and Harris supporters.

MSNBC commentator Joy Reid launched a tirade live on air as Florida turned out overwhelmingly in favor of Trump, slamming voters and describing the state as being under the power of an ‘extremist, right-wing, fascist-type government’.

‘Think about the last two weeks and the things that Donald Trump has said into the TV that people could hear him say and do,’ she said, becoming increasingly more irate.

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

The performance on the MSNBC ‘Election Night’ panel was followed by former White House Communications Director Nicole Wallace insisting Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris were still in a ‘dead heat’ – even as the Republican candidate pulled ahead in the polls and won two swing states in North Carolina and Georgia.

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

Meanwhile, CNN political analyst and former Obama staffer Van Jones looked on the verge of tears while delivering a somber speech as the vote counts stacked up in Trump’s favor.

Hours before the race was formally called, trepidation was growing on the channel as the results of several swing states rolled in and the hosts began to admit defeat.

‘This is a shellacking for the Democrats tonight,’ analyst John King said. ‘The question is how bad. A shellacking for the vice president.’

Shortly after, tensions flared among panelists as they performed a post mortem on the loss, again before it had been officially declared.

The reactions were gleefully shared across social media by joyous Trump supporters, who point out that much of America’s mainstream media outlets lean left and claim they often misrepresent, misquote and unfairly target the Republican candidate. 

Strategist Scott Jennings also delivered a stinging indictment of the ‘political information complex’, noting that the story that had  been portrayed about Harris’ chances was, ‘not true’.

‘We were told 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 cammo hats. Night after night after night we were told all these things and gimmicks were going to somehow push Harris over the line and we were ignoring the fundamentals – inflation, people feeling like they were barely able to tread water at best – that was the fundamentals of the election.’

He also chastised the demonization of Trump supporters and encouraged Democrats and the media to enter into a more constructive dialogue.

‘I think that both parties should always look at the results of an election and figure out what went right and what went wrong, but for those of us that cover elections we have to figure out how to understand, talk to and listen to the half of the country that rose up tonight and said, “we’ve had enough”,’ Jennings added.
