MSNBC Melt Down over Trump Winning The Election

Kamala, you're fired. Get out. And the trash's name is Kamala Harris. We made it, you guys, we did it. We got here. This is it. This is the night's settling. 10 hours of coverage cramped into half an hour. Meltdown City. Who do they blame? You'll see. Subscribe. It's the only thing I care about. While the other candidate, at the end of his campaign, he was unable to fill arenas in his final week.

Nobody went. Nobody went. It has been a strange and in many ways unprecedented. Yes, we're doing great. I was going to ask who you're going to vote for, but I didn't need to. Conquest in the closing days is just been so profound. Mm-hmm. And being willing to do the work herself, of humbly asking people to vote for them. That I think we'll find out if there's still power in the humility of asking for people's vote.

If this is an audition for managing a complex organization like the United States, Yeah. Comalherst has passed the audition flawlessly. This has been, in many ways, a perfect campaign. Perfect. And she had barely any time to put it together. But just as a managerial matter, it's been brilliantly done. Brilliant.

You just don't see on the other side. On the other side, you're seeing Charlie Kirk, to whom the Trump campaign outsourced the parts of its ground game they didn't give to Elon Musk going on X Twitter this morning and begging people to vote. That's not going to work. So their ground game is to go on Twitter and beg people to vote. X whatever they're calling it now. Whereas the Harris campaign's ground game is literally multiple taps at each door. They're going back to people texting, calling, go into the door. Do you need a ride?

It's like what Obama did. It's numerous touches on voters who don't vote that often, because that's who this ground game is for. They saw Donald Trump demeaning people hosting misogynist hate gatherings. Trump about murdering innocent Americans who happen to be journalists, which is his special extra problem, people who can hold him to account. And they saw something very different from the closing campaign of Harris, which is. I voted for Harris. Yeah. I also.

Well, it didn't work. I've heard the Philly turnout is higher than they expected in a good way for the Harris team. Look, I'm hearing the turnout is high, the lines are long. Democrats are very encouraged by what they're seeing specifically from college campuses. That's important. Those students at those schools, they could flip a congressional district. They could be the difference between the Democrat winning that race of the Republican and definitely turnout for Vice President Kamala Harris.

Absolutely. I think they're cautiously optimistic. about a state that I'm going to keep my eyes on, that's Texas. I feel pretty good about Bob Casey in Pennsylvania. The feeling is she's going to pick up North Carolina. You're in for a shock. You know, Michael Steele mentioned the quiet vote, the notion that women are going into the booth

and pulling a lever that's different from the lever their husbands are pulling and what married women are going to do because traditionally married white women have given their votes to Trump in the last two election cycles. Does abortion change that calculation? Abortion is beautiful. White women are going to turn this election around for them. around for them. In many ways, maybe even determine the outcome of the election.

Absolutely. How women see each other in each other's shoes. Their NBC news projects that Donald Trump has won the presidential election in Kentucky. It's over. Coming to Kamala Harris has won the presidential race in the great state of Vermont. Donald Trump has won in the state of Indiana. But the last week has been a very good close for Kamala Harris. Not a good close for Donald Trump.

He hasn't been able to fill the rallies. He's adult. He has racist comedians opening. Whatever. It's been a trashy week for Donald Trump. Tony Hinchcliffe. He has racist comedians opening it. Racist comedians.

For Donald Trump. It's been a very strong week for Kamala Harris. Donald Trump has to win North Carolina in order to be president. Oh, does it? Oh. She will be the next president of the United States. Wrong. Points out the flawlessness, which with Kamala Harris has held together the full range of the Democratic coalition.

In West Virginia, Donald Trump is the winner. A while ago, we were talking to two guys. We were talking to two guys. One of them said that he was on the fence until he said when Kamala did not go on the Joe Rogan podcast, that was what influenced his vote. He ended up voting for Trump, but he said that he was open to listening to Kamala on the podcast. And when she didn't, again, not the, not necessarily all the issues, but the fact that she said, she didn't seem like a real person because she couldn't talk for an extended period of time.

I knew it. Donald Trump has won the state of Florida. Damn toot and root. And this projects that Kamala Harris has won the state of Massachusetts, rejecting Donald Trump to be the winner in Tennessee. Get out of my way. Vice President Kamala Harris. Donald Trump projected to win the presidential race in the state of Missouri.

Alabama is Donald Trump. Oklahoma is Donald Trump. The winner is Vice President Kamala Harris. Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democrat right now at 27 electoral votes and Donald Trump at 90 electoral votes at the winner of the presidential contest in Arkansas will be Donald Trump in Delaware, Vice President. We don't need us. That there were four non-credible bomb threats that were.

From who? Officials have attributed these things to Russian origin. Oh, Russia, of course. They're saying that I'm just going to give a couple of like everybody take a breath warnings here. I'm just going to remind people of is that these college towns voting. As people are talking about long lines in these college towns, that is a huge deal for the Harris team. Because remember over the last that there are.

big long lines in these college towns, which I don't know that we would have all predicted that just a couple of months ago. She's going to pull it out. It's a very, very close race. That right now, it looks like the public polling, broadly speaking, that this was a very close race is broadly at 851, based on the data we have,

about what we're seeing so far. Land slide. You are just joining us right the second at 8502.6, and I had to summarize what's going on. No surprises. No surprises. There's been no surprising result anywhere. I don't think.

Same old, same old. And very encouraged, like in all of the other battleground states, about what they're seeing on the college campuses. Those cities with large college campuses, the college students, they are in formation. And that's going to matter. And that is going to matter. It's going to matter, guys.

We have some national. I was in Redding, Pennsylvania over the weekend, knocking on doors. And I could share with you the folks that we were able to talk to, Most of them had already voted and they voted for Harris because that is a very much a union town and people were very upset Not so much supporting problems. They're really upset at the Madison Square Garden comments. Looks like the joke worked the Harris campaign has spent close to four hundred million dollars just in Pennsylvania

They understand that that's the holy grail and between the Latino vote and I do that people need to just calm down When you're running against when you're running against history guess what that's a hard-heeled decline and I think there's a lot more game out there. So just so much game, guys. Relax. Simmer down. We got this. We got this. Donald Trump has won in the great state of Texas. In North Dakota, the winner is Donald Trump in South Dakota. The winner is Donald Trump. NBC News also suggests, also projects the winner in the Wyoming presidential race. We've now got Donald Trump standing at 154 electoral votes. Kamala Harris at 30 electoral votes.

But they got this. Looking in the Rhode Island presidential contest, Kamala Harris is projected to win in Mississippi, that the winner of the presidential contest is Donald Trump. NBC News can also project in Louisiana that the winner of the presidential contest is Donald Trump. We do also have reports of new bomb threats at polling sites in Pennsylvania.

And for kids watching for the first time, election results, they should know that we never had bond threats before Donald Trump became a presidential. We never had wacko lefties like we do now, kids. Kamala Harris has won the presidential race in the great state of New York. Don't need it. Democratic candidate, Vice President Kamala Harris has won the presidential contest in Illinois.

But there could be voters who vote for Trump, Gallego, and the abortion protection. Really? Really? How? How? How? Bends the mind just to, there's other ways to describe it, but that's my most diplomatic way. Because how can you vote for Trump, Gallego, and the abortion balance of it.

It's similar to Florida. We know where the public stands on abortion rights. And that makes us assume that they would all vote against Trump. And we just don't know that at this point. Regardless of what happens with the presidential, we are seeing a sort of a splatter painting in terms of the way the voters are plotting the valence of their politics here. Donald Trump is projected to be the winner in the state of Ohio. Yeah, he is.

No surprise. If Kamala Harris wins Michigan and Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, she gets 270, she wins the presidency. And so when we are talking about this being a tight race, it isn't just a tight race in each of these individual swing states. It's a tight race. It's a tight race. Oh, say it again. Say it again. Say it again.

...in Kansas is Donald Trump. It's Claire McCaskill. I'm bringing you in here because I understand you- You've got some Intel out of Wisconsin. Yeah, I've talked to folks on the ground that have been running these Senate campaigns. Boots on the ground. Namely in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. And they all feel good about those Senate races.

Everybody's feeling really good about. And I'll tell you one other thing that people are feeling really good about, Rachel. And that is what they're seeing on college campuses. This is going to be big in Pennsylvania. It's going to be big. In Michigan, it's going to be big in Wisconsin. Big. Everybody needs to take a deep breath.

Those are the three states we need. Harris has got this. Don't have to have Georgia, don't have to have North Carolina. We don't need any of that. We have to have those three. And they have been surprised. The campaign has been surprised. Shocked, happy.

By the level of involvement on these college campuses. How wrong can you be? Very, very important. Let's pass it back over to Steve. You'd be sucking all night, though, wouldn't you be? She'd be like, here, here, here, all over. Kidding me? They'll be here for a year.

Donald Trump projected to win the president of. race in Utah. NBC News also projecting a winner in the presidential race in Montana. Hoo! Oh! Donald Trump is against all the votes being counted.

At least four years ago, that was his public position. And so I think there'll be a moment when it is very much still up in the air, when Steve is still tapping counties and we only see numbers like 34, 44, 45, you know, we don't have all the vote in. It is fairly shocking. And I don't think something that should make us super proud that despite all of the things that just we've seen in the last two weeks, forget even if you could somehow forget January 6th and an attempted coup to overthrow the country, even if you could forget taking classified documents and hiding them in your bathroom.

Even if you could set aside, which is very hard to set aside in a cute adjudication of sexual abuse against a woman and then a two dozen other allegations. you know, Jeffrey Epstein saying it was his best friend. And you name it. You just think about just the last two weeks and the things that Donald Trump has said into the TV that people could hear him say and do the vulgarity in front of families with young children and the threats to do mass deportation and a violent, a start, violent start to his dictatorship on day one. And you name it. Just name it. Just name it. Just name it.

Just name it. of the votes? 48, 49%. What does it tell you? I mean, we need to really take a step back and think about what does that say about us? I think that. It says that you're a lunatic. That's what that says.

They voted for him because of people like you. You're the real liar. You're the real misinformation. You just heard it. The idea that if Joe Biden said the wrong word at a certain time, better not, wasn't able to come up with the word he wanted to say at a certain time. All the time. That's worse than all the words we heard Donald Trump say.

that he had no trouble retrieving from his racist thoughts about people. He's a mind reader. He's a mind reader. You won't lose a single voter. He might not gain a voter. He's a Nazi. But you won't lose one, no matter what you say. That is a new phenomenon.

That Kamala Harris has won the state of Colorado. Joy, what were you said? No. But you are not seeing shifts among black men. Oh, thank God for that. The only area supporting Trump there. Donald Trump. Trump is projected to have won the presidential contest in the state of Iowa.

In Nebraska, now, as you know, in Nebraska, the electoral votes are... One thing I will just say, I'm not trying to be rosy all the time at all, but this always happens on election nights where the bigger cities, where Democrats have the bigger share of the vote come in later. And there are a lot of places, Grand Rapids, Michigan, a bigger chunk of Philly. This is normal. County before anybody starts drinking on their couch or whatever they need to do. They're already doing that.

They already do. Can I add just one other things? The world wants him to win. What's wrong with California? It's Republican Donald Trump projected to be the winner of the presidential race in Idaho. Potato. I mean, blue wall baby. It was always going to be a blue all night.

And I think that I mean, I tried to speak a little bit to some of the fantasies, right, of a landslide victory that would erase any doubt. It was a landslide. eradicate, you know, the threat of something drawn out. And that is, you know, I'm so loathe to quote Don Rumsfeld with all of you, but I will anyway. I feel like Liz Cheney has made that somewhat acceptable. No, it's still not acceptable. You know, you go to the polls with the country that you have, and the country we have lives in two totally separated information ecosystems.

Whatever happens, we'll have to really understand the information consumption that young men have and why they think that the economy will be better under Donald Trump when it never was. Yeah, it was for four years. Young men, you intelligent young men. What's wrong with you? Because they're so close because they're so close because households are divided. We're blaming young men now. I mean, I guess a slice of good news that the polls have accurately captured this dead heat.

Deree, since you were last with us. We don't know who's going to win. Yeah, we do. Michigan, Wisconsin. Pennsylvania. Yeah, we do. Trump. If Kamala Harris wins those states, then she would be in a path to win the presidency.

President Kamala Harris has won in the state of Oregon. She's at Harris election night headquarters at Howard University. Michelle, what do you see on? Well, the crowd here is still large, is still loud, but a little bit more subdued. Loud. The word that I keep hearing, it must be some new phrase that has entered the lexicon. Look how loud they are. The idea that people here are nauseously optimistic.

They're crazy loud. Girls gone wild down there. Look at it. He's loud. Thinks it doesn't look good there. But one of the interesting things she said that's echoed by a few other people that I spoke to is that the real focus now is on that blue wall in the Midwest, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and that second district in Omaha, Nebraska, that sort of blue oval at the top of the state. Guys are going to get a noise complaint. Let's check out Trump headquarters.

Much livelier here as you can hear Donald Trump's favorite song, YMCA is playing. They're ready for a long, long, long. night. It's going to be a real nail biter and it appears that that is exactly what we're looking at right now. Not a nail bite. Democrats believe that they have tens of thousands of votes that are outstanding from Philadelphia County. These are absentee ballots. They believe that those tens of thousands of outstanding ballots are going to make a difference. My Pennsylvania people are telling me that the next batch is expected at 1155. Folks in Wisconsin say they think it will be a classic Wisconsin photo finish, but they feel good about where they are.

She's winning Wisconsin. Oh, I understand, has been talking to sources about... Oh, he's got sources, too. Michigan. What are you hearing, Michael? What's your sources say? It's very interesting right now that a number of the folks that have been talking to there in Michigan, Republicans are looking a little bit, how should we say, skeptical of holding Michigan for Trump right now, looking at some of the numbers that have been coming in.

Vice President Kamala Harris, NBC News can also project that we have a winner in the presidential content. in Washington that there is a winner in Virginia, a winner in the presidential contest in North Carolina suburbs and I think we have to be blunt about why. Black voters came through for Kamala Harris. White women voters did not. Hmm. Blame the white people. It appears happened in that state is that if you can't flip enough white women and we've talked about this on this set numerous times. And if people vote more, you know, party line, or more on race than on gender and on protecting their gender, there's really not much more that you can do,

but tell people what the risks are and leave it to them to do the right thing. They just went through the hurricane. Who else can we blame? You just going to explain. Working class. Working class. Are actually mad at everyone. They're mad at the system.

They're mad at the establishment. And Democrats have thought in the last few years. They're to blame the class that matters. And well, we can all say, but Donald Trump does absolutely nothing for them. That's true from a policy, perspective, but they look around and somehow still they feel connected with his personality. Projected to be the winner in the presidential race in the state of Hawaii. Good. I was starting to feel bad for him.

In terms of the road to 70. So you won't hear from the vice president tonight. So thank you. We believe in you. May God bless you. May God keep you. And go eight you and go Harris. But what they went to that venue tonight. hoping to see and witness was a historic election of Kamala Harris to the presidency. Yeah.

Was the end of the Trump era as they knew it. And so we don't know the outcome yet, but that is not what they are receiving. And they are being told to go home and wait till tomorrow. Who else can we blame? Is that poor and low will people actually don't vote. The poor. They normally sit it out. That's why she lost.

The poor didn't vote. What about those damn aliens? They didn't vote either. Look at all these things, do a comprehensive report, and talk about how to move forward because we got our butts kick tonight, and we got to figure out how to move forward. God, he's goofy looking.

And I just think the Democrats right now have to just reckon with the fact that there's a fundamental brand problem with the party as far as not reaching a huge swaths of the country. There's a lot of stuff inside of my head that wants to rage at this. But then I really kind of went back to what I wanted to do in 2010.

But give me your look at this thing. What is you're looking at women voters, abortion rights. The only bright spot in this entire night was that white college educated women were not

having it. That said white non-college educated women were all in. The dummies. We're in a completely different media universe than we were in 2012 or 2010. And I think that's a really important point. We don't know where people are getting their news. Not from you. Steve Kornack, I just have to jump in. And we've been predicting this. We've been waiting for it.

And we do have some breaking news from the decision desk. NBC News can now project that Donald Trump has won the state of Wisconsin, which means he is the winner of this race and will return to the White House as this country's 47th president. And for so many of you watching right now, that news, uses, to say the least, a lot to digest. I understand that, personally. After he lost four years ago, he refused to accept the outcome and incited a violent insurrection on our nation's capital. Vicious.

He's campaigned while facing criminal indictments related to his efforts to overturn the 2020 results. We love that part. And he's run as a convicted felon. Right on. That's cool. He has also promised to essentially be an authoritarian leader. He did? To use power like no American.

president ever has before and wield that power to go after his political enemies. This is a man who's also bragged about overturning Roe v. Wade and stripping away women's bodily autonomy. He's promised to conduct mass deportations to crack down on the ranks of millions of Americans. Donald Trump is an anti-democratic force, but he's just been elected democratically in our country. And here, Here's what might be the hardest part to hear, but we have to talk about and we have to say, and it is a hard part to digest for all of us. But we have to be honest about what we saw in this election. Donald Trump was elected by expanding his support over a number of key groups that we're going to,

we've been digging into this night. What's with the music? All night tonight, as we anticipated where this was headed, and I know we're going to dig into it throughout the course of the day today. And there will be a lot of time spent on how and why he won. and what this will mean for the country over the next four years and beyond. But in this moment,

it's also important to remember that our democracy is not built around one person. She's reading from a paper. That's why they're not showing. And I have every confidence that pro-democracy forces in this country will continue to stand up and make their voices heard.

I wish I had better news for my daughter later this morning. I know Tim Miller and I were talking about this earlier when she and so many others wake up to this news. I wish I could have called her and told her that the first woman president had just been elected. No.

I wish that. I won't be able to do that. But what I can do, what I can tell my daughter, and what I will tell my daughter, is that our roles as American citizens have never been more important than they are right now. I can tell her that there are still lots of good forces out there,

forces for good in this country, and that they are going to be getting to work. Glad you're not my mom. I leave you guys tonight. If you're struggling and you need some advice, And maybe you just want to get drunk with a bottle of wine. This girl is here to help you. I just want to let you all know that if you need to talk,

I will be available to talk. If you want to talk to other family members or anything, have a bottle of wine, an entire bottle of wine. It's okay. Having ice cream. Just talk to someone. Get out your coping skills, anything like that if you want to not talk to friends or family. There is also, if you need, the crisis number, which is 9-88.

Everyone is struggling, and I hope that somehow eventually we can all... I don't know what to say, right, but I can't really say to get better because it's not, it's going to be hard. I don't know. I'm sorry, guys. We all failed you.
