On November 6th, Townhall posted an article about some of the media analysis of the 2024 election. Some of the most helpful and intelligent commentary came from Scott Jennings on CNN.
The article reports:
As Townhall has been covering this election cycle, Scott Jennings has been a breath of fresh air and at times the only voice of reason during CNN panels that otherwise would go completely off the rails. He’s been ramping up the warnings as to how the tactics of the Harris-Walz campaign just weren’t working, and sure enough that proved to be true. Early on Wednesday morning, Jennings tried to offer his fellow panelists some insight, if only they’d take such a free gift.
When Anderson Cooper asked Jennings his thoughts, Jennings reminded that Trump won “a huge victory” and “a mandate,” but also addressed it in the context of how Trump “has an opportunity here to try to unite the country” after such a win. Trump indeed won the popular vote, the first time a Republican has done so since 2004, which CNN’s Harry Enten had also been warning viewers about as the election was approaching. “This is a big deal, this isn’t backing into the office, this is a mandate to do what you said you were going to do,” Jennings continued, as he mentioned Trump’s priorities centered on the economy, crime, and immigration.
“I’m interpreting the results tonight as the revenge of just the regular ‘ol working class, the anonymous American who has been crushed, insulted, condescended to, they’re not ‘garbage,’ they’re not Nazis, they’re just regular people who get up and go to work every day and are trying to make a better life for their kids and they feel like they have been told to just shut up, when they have complained about the things that are hurting them in their own lives,” Jennings continued, as he reminded his panelists of the ways in which President Joe Biden and the Harris-Walz ticket have insulted their political opponents. One could hear a pin drop as such points were made.
