Election Day is a stressful one in America — but at least Steve Kornacki can make it a bit easier.
Kornacki – the beloved MSNBC journalist and political analyst – shot to viral fame during his coverage of the 2020 election between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. Throughout the night, as Kornacki referred to incoming polling data via his Big Board, the Internet started to go wild for him. After a bit of coverage, he even earned nicknames like “map daddy” and “chart throb.”
A combination of Kornacki’s khaki-clad look, his wielding of the Big Board, and his expertise in the number-crunching of real-time data made him an instant Election Night sensation. Now, NBC is hoping to bring that fervor back for their coverage of the 2024 presidential election between Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. They’re implementing something called the “Kornacki Cam” so viewers can keep a constant eye on the journalist as more votes roll in through the night.
