Steve Kornacki, our favorite human calculator, has gone viral for nailing the exact math for ballot counts live on air.
This past week as election week unraveled, millions of Americans and audiences worldwide were glued to their Tv’s getting updates, and the levels of anxiety were at an all-time high.
NBC News and MSNBC national political correspondent, Steve Kornacki, relentlessly crunching those numbers and giving us the most recent updates was the only thing keeping us sane.
Just before President Elect, Joe Biden took over Pennsylvania, as new ballots were coming in, Kornacki busted out his math skills to get to the exact amount of margin difference between the two candidates, on live tv!
Since then, millions of people have viewed the video and #trackingkornacki was even trending on Twitter for a while. It might be a simple subtraction for us, but nailing the exact number reporting live, under a lot of stress might I add, sounds badass to me.
Honestly, if anyone has earned the right to show off his skills, it’s Steve. Apparently, between election day and Friday, Steve got a total of 5 hours of sleep, working none-stop at his station to deliver reliable and accurate news.
Now that the race has been called and Biden-Harris are officially elected to Office, Steve can finally take a break. Give this man his vacation ASAP!
