Nawaz and Geoff Bennett. Laura Barron-Lopez reported from Howard University in D.C, Harris’ “victory party” locale, while William Brangham reported from Trump’s actual victory party in West Palm Beach. The anchors checked in with the on-scene reporters roughly every hour, and one could see the glumness descending in stages at Harris HQ -- and in Barron-Lopez herself (who had a coughing fit at one point) -- as the confident predictions that she passed along from the Harris campaign fell through and Harris’s victory lane narrowed, hour by hour.
