CNN’s Jake Tapper was stunned after a preliminary analysis showed that Kamala Harris did not convincingly beat Joe Biden in any state.
The vice president not only lost to Donald Trump, but appears to have performed poorly across the board compared to Joe Biden in the 2020 election.
Analysis by CNN around 2 a.m. (ET) Wednesday revealed that Harris failed to beat her boss by three percent in any state.
The grim statistics left Tapper shocked after he was presented with a card illustrating the dismal performance.
“Holy smoke,” Tapper exclaimed. “Literally nothing?”

The analyst further explained that Harris outperformed Biden in only 58 countries.
By comparison, Trump was ahead of Biden’s 2020 performance in more than 1,000 of the 4,600 townships and counties in the US.
Harris, 60, formally lost to Trump, 78, in the early hours of Wednesday after the Republican candidate managed to capture the key swing states of North Carolina, Georgia and Pennsylvania.
The Associated Press called Wisconsin at 5:34 a.m. ET on Wednesday, with 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 address supporters until “tomorrow.”
Her despondent supporters lost hope and abandoned election party events as it became increasingly clear that former President Trump was headed for victory.
Scenes of tearful liberals were recreated across the country at watch parties in the US, where supporters were depicted in increasingly desperate ways, and even at ‘Democrats Abroad’ rallies in places like Britain and Kenya.
Trump won a remarkable victory, similar to his successful White House run in 2016.

CNN’s Jake Tapper couldn’t hide his anger and frustration as the results started rolling in
He becomes the first president in more than 130 years – and only the second in history – to win a non-consecutive second term.
The initial reaction to Harris’ defeat has placed some of the blame on her failure to convince America that she represented a break with the Biden administration.
Harris was nominated as a Democrat in August after Biden, 81, resigned amid intense scrutiny over whether he had the mental capacity to run for a second term.
Harris’ nomination became official after a five-day online vote by delegates to the Democratic National Convention, with the party saying it had 99 percent support.
She experienced an initial boost of support, but it was not sustainable enough to yield a win.
Trump’s victory has sparked an anguished response from the left-wing liberal news media and Harris’ supporters.
MSNBC commentator Joy Reid launched a tirade live on air when Florida turned out to be overwhelmingly in Trump’s favor, criticizing voters and describing the state as under the power of an “extremist, right-wing, fascist government.”

“Think about the last two weeks and the things that Donald Trump has said on television that people could hear him say and do,” she said, growing increasingly angry.
‘The vulgarity in front of families with young children and the threats of mass deportations and a violent start to his dictatorship on the first day, you name it.’
The appearance on MSNBC’s “Election Night” panel was followed by former White House communications director Nicole Wallace, who insisted that Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris were still in a “dead heat” — even as the Republican nominee led in the polls and won two swings. states in North Carolina and Georgia.
“It was always going to be a blue wall night,” she said, refusing to acknowledge that the pivotal state of Pennsylvania, with 19 Electoral College votes, was leaning toward Trump with more than 90% of ballots checked — and ultimately all of his votes awarded to the Republican.
Meanwhile, CNN political analyst and former Obama aide Van Jones looked on the verge of tears as he delivered a somber speech as the vote count piled up in Trump’s favor.
