As Election Night continues to unfold, media outlets are reacting with rising “anxiety” over the results so far, with some networks showing visible frustration as swing states lean toward Donald Trump, especially MSNBC.
Over on CNN, the mood wasn’t much different. Commentator Abby Phillip acknowledged the tense atmosphere, noting, “I can feel the anxiety in the crowd.”
In a striking moment on MSNBC, host Joy Reid didn’t hold back her disdain, sharply criticizing Florida after it decisively swung for Trump. Reid referred to Florida as an “extreme right-wing fascist state,” a comment that has since garnered significant attention online.
Reid, known for her outspoken views, described Florida’s political climate as an embodiment of “extremist right-wing” ideology. She pointed to what she claimed was a “fascist type government” in the state, even going so far as to question whether such governance makes Florida an attractive place in America.
The tension hints at a long night ahead for media outlets as both camps brace for more states to report their outcomes. As of now, Trump holds a lead in the 2024 presidential race, buoyed by strong support across the South and Midwest. Key battleground states are yet to report fully, but early results indicate an 81% chance of Trump’s victory, with projections estimating him potentially securing 296 electoral votes.
The atmosphere surrounding the 2024 election results bears a striking resemblance to the media’s reaction during Trump’s unexpected 2016 victory.
