[See NewsBusters for more.] MSNBC on Wednesday touted the “extremely close” “symbolic” “victory” for Democrats in Georgia’s special election, seeing the failure to win as a “sign of hope.” MSNBC Live host Stephanie Ruhle also chastised Trump, saying, “President Trump weighing in, going in on a new tweet, really a tirade against the Democrat.” Hyping John Ossoff’s failed effort to win outright against 11 Republicans, Ruhle noted the Democrat “did not win the 50 percent needed to take the traditionally red state, but he came extremely close.” She added, “Democrats across the nation, they're telling a story that this is a huge victory or a symbolic one.”
