John King’s Tweets

Not too far from the house of a man asking to “stop the count” is another excellent reminder of why it must be finished.

Ludicrous? Unreal? Help me find the right word. #Trump in farewell address says “above all we reasserted the sacred idea that in America, the government answers to the people.” Same man who for two months after losing lied and lied trying to DEFY the will of the people.

If, for whatever reason, you needed more evidence. Or more math. Four more EVs to come from Hawaii. But ⁦CA puts ⁦⁩ past 270 and because he keeps challenging fact, we need to say again that ⁦⁩ lost. By margin he called landslide in 2016.

A taste of Ireland and a map of home, where dad’s corned beef and cabbage (+ turnip) always made this day like Christmas. ☘️ Sláinte

Congrats rockstar !!!! Sunday mornings are special and in great hands here. I get to sleep a little more, and parent a little better, after 5 years of 7-day weeks.

I'm so thrilled to be taking the reins of Inside Politics Sunday from my friend and colleague @JohnKingCNN starting on January 24th. Could not be more proud to be joining this incredible @CNN franchise! cnn.it/3si4btA

Much of the world, it seems, was Trumphausted, too.

A stream of world leaders have congratulated President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris Saturday on their victory in the 2020 US presidential election, with many striking a jubilant tone on social media. cnn.it/32nT4E5

Work on writing 1,2,3s on a touch screen. After maybe pouring 1,2,3 pints. Perhaps unwise order, but .......

I wonder what @JohnKingCNN is going to do once the results are in and he can be released? Like, what are his 1,2,3 things he’s gonna do first?

A little throwback Tuesday to wish the ageless, fearless and gracefully tenacious (and fellow #URI grad) ⁦@camanpour⁩ happy birthday. 30 years ago here - Saudi Arabia during first Gulf War. I was then, she was .

Today is because of this - VOTING. And a testament to the strength of a system that repelled an attack from a soon to be former President who refuses to respect democracy.

Thanks, Jimmy. Still haven't called this, if your daughter wants to help get us to the finish line!

This is one new normal to celebrate. Changing my Sunday alarm to a little later now, but will be up in time to watch!

Five years ago, I was on Inside Politics Sunday with @JohnKingCNN for the first time and I’ve been grateful for his support ever since. Honored to be taking the baton from you after today, my friend. Congratulations on an amazing run!

Friend in philly passes along this from weekend celebrations in ⁦⁩ hometown. I share to be provide him Monday morning cheer, not to advocate restoring the monarchy.

Whatever your politics, we would not be here today if the President shown on the left had respected the will of the people on the right.

20+ messages so far from friends, govt officials, sources overseas expressing “sadness” “horror” “heartbreak” etc for what they are seeing at the US Capitol. Another stain on legacy.

The only downside of projecting the last election of #2022 is they put me away for awhile. When does #2024 begin?!?!?!?

We have lost a CNN original. A trailblazer and legend, a man of profound talent and endless grace. Soft spoken yet booming voice. A role model and example and mentor to so so many. #RIP Bernard Shaw.

Overshadowed by the chaos in DC, but Jon Ossoff lead grows by 7000+ as count continues today. CNN now projects his GA Senate win, and DEM control of Senate.

GA election administrator says little more than 60k votes still to be counted. 50k + are in counties easily or overwhelmingly carried by Ds. Meaning this Ossoff lead will grow.

I used to watch @JohnKingCNN, from the time I lived in NYC, when he was CNN’s White House correspondent and his hair was blonde. Now, 20 years later, he and his wall give me life. I wouldn’t want anyone else for this coverage. (Won’t say anything about his white hair 😁).
