In the early part of the 10:00 p.m. Eastern hour, and before the Alabama Senate race was called for Democrat Doug Jones, cheers could be heard on CNN’s live broadcast as Wolf Blitzer announced Jones had taken the lead.
At roughly 10:19 p.m. Eastern, Hale Country finally turned in their votes. “Look at this! Wow, look at this,†exclaimed Blitzer. “All of a sudden, Doug Jones is taking the lead.†“Hale County just came in, which puts him back in the lead,†explained Inside Politics host John King as they stood in front of the map. And as they spoke an audible whoop from off-camera could be heard.
