Who Is John King? CNN Anchor Impresses With Election Night Coverage
Americans don’t seem to agree on much these days, especially as they await the results of the Presidential election. However, everyone seems to be in agreement when it comes to what they’re seeing if they’re watching CNN’s election coverage.
CNN’s “Election Night in America” program has largely been focused on anchors Wolf Blitzer and John King discussing how things are playing out, with Blitzer making the official projections for different states, while King plays out different scenarios on various touchscreen maps and talking about the different ways both Joe Biden and Donald Trump can win or lose the election. King, in particular, has been impressing many with his work, even having his name trend on Twitter throughout election night.
Many were astonished by how quickly he managed to move from one map to another and talk—with some wondering how he was doing his job, since he was moving so quickly and seemingly without any breaks.
John King is seriously good at his job. #USAElections2020

Love how every broadcaster has booked in loads of guests and talking heads to get through the night and CNN was just like: let’s just get John King speaking at the speed of light for next six hours

Regardless of your political affiliation, one thing we can agree on is John King isn’t a man, he’s a damn machine.

His memory bank and mastery of the touchscreen is remarkable.

John King is better at talking about obscure counties while at a touch-screen than anybody else is at anything.

Others couldn’t believe King was constantly referring to the election—and coverage of it—as fun.

Some also joked about how he was seemingly so calm, as opposed to Blitzer, who was a bit more animated with his commentary.

There were also some watching who were simply impressed with his knowledge of seemingly every county in America.
This John King somehow knows every county in the country. A remarkable performance

Currently, Joe Biden is ahead in the race for the Presidency, with a lead on President Donald Trump due to West Coast projections in his favor, though the race is far from being called.
