CNN's John King after MS revelation: 'Had 'trouble functioning' during 2020 election coverage
The Hill ^ | 10/20/2021 | DOMINICK MASTRANGELO

CNN anchor John King revealed that he "was having a lot of trouble functioning" working to cover the 2020 election as he dealt with multiple sclerosis.

"I hope nobody noticed it, but election week in America was probably one of my worst weeks last year," King said Wednesday morning. "I was having a lot of trouble functioning."

King manned CNN's electoral map for days after Election Day last November, as results slowly came in across the country until President Biden was projected as the winner the following Saturday. He at times provided insight and analysis on the vote totals and state of the race on an hourly basis.

I watched him on election night 2016 and he was pretty good and seems like a decent person. Prayers for him and his family.

At least having the election scripted probably helped him.

Tell me about it. I think a lot of us had “trouble functioning” during election week. Watching our country being taken away from us and all.

Here is my daily reminder for people that cant get tested because Drs wont listen

if you have weird sensations like pin and needles...Direct Labs has a cheap ANA test that is the first test in a long journey. If you test positive Drs will have to listen..it should get you the referral to the Rheumotologist

MS? The usual malady over at CNN, where Trump is of concern, is PMS.

He was actually one of the better ones to watch that night. We all know where he stands, but he covered it pretty straight.

Agree, he is truly a master of the electronic whiteboard and reported honestly about the election. I remember when he turned to one of the other anchor-pukes and told him that Hillary’s path to victory was just about non-existent at that point. I think it was Tapper, who was struggling to hold back the tears...

King was married to Dana Bash, maybe that’s a factor.

Not to worry John. Fox News "Decisions Desk" made all the decisions you were hoping for.

That’s exactly the moment I was thinking about. He said “Democrats have been asking whether Donald Trump has a path to victory. Now they should be asking themselves whether Hillary Clinton has a path to victory.

And he totally nailed the numbers around Milwaukee and Wisconsin.

Had we noticed anything we’d have likely attributed it to distress over Hillary’s defeat. There was plenty of that among the mediots.
