HuffPost
The network host also shared a message for her daughter as she tried to end her announcement with hope.
MSNBC host Jen Psaki on Wednesday announced for the network that Donald Trump had won the 2024 White House race, delivering a plainspoken message about the former president.
“For so many of you watching right now, that news is, to say the least, a lot to digest,” she said as MSNBC called the election for the Republican in a breaking news announcement shortly after 5:30 a.m. Eastern time.
“I understand that personally,” Psaki continued, before touching on Trump’s campaign promise to deport migrants, his support among important voting blocs, the Supreme Court’s 2022 reversal of its 1973 decision legalizing abortion nationwide, and more.
She said:
After he lost four years ago, he refused to accept the outcome and incited a violent insurrection on our nation’s Capitol. He’s campaigned while facing criminal indictments related to his efforts to overturn the 2020 results, and he’s run as a convicted felon. During this campaign, he has also promised to essentially be an authoritarian leader, 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 rights of millions of Americans. Donald Trump is an antidemocratic force, but he’s just been elected democratically in our country.And here’s what might be the hardest part to hear, but we have to talk about. ... 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.
