A sentiment shared by former Obama official Van Jones who cried his way through his thankful reaction that President Trump has been defeated.
Tapper began by throwing some crumbs to Trump supporters, "It is the end, the end of a tumultuous presidency, a time of some accomplishments, no question, a time where many Americans throughout the country and in shuttered steel towns and rural America, they felt for the first time, they felt heard, which is important."
