Kamala Harris’ dismal defeat saw her under perform in every state compared to Joe Biden, damning initial analysis shows.

Kamala Harris’ dismal defeat saw her under perform in every state compared to Joe Biden, damning initial analysis shows.

CNN’s Jake Tapper was among those leading the horrified reaction among liberals as the full scale of Donald Trump’s victory became apparent.

The Vice President was not only trounced by the Republican nominee, she fared worse than Biden in the 2020 election across the board.

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

‘Holy smokes,’ Tapper exclaimed when presented with a map illustrating her lackluster performance. ‘Literally nothing?’

Totals as of 10am ET show Trump leading with 277 electoral college votes compared to 224 for Harris, according to the Associated Press.

The former president is also expected to sweep the popular vote, a first for a Republican since 2004.

According to Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ), Trump is storming ahead with over 70 million votes, compared to 66 million for Harris.

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.

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

But the writing was on the wall for liberals well before the announcement.

Hours before, CNN Analyst John King had shown how Harris was only outperforming Biden’s 2020 results in just 58 counties.

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

Harris was drafted in to replace Biden, 81, in August amid mounting mistrust over his cognitive abilities.

Her crushing defeat 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.

Trepidation began to mount on the channel as the results of several swing states rolled in and the hosts began to admit defeat hours before the race was called.

‘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 camo 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.

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, 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 after Biden 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.
