CBS News host offered some thoughts as the returns came in.
Brennan, who was a moderator during a Trump debate almost started to shout at the camera as reality set in that former President Trump will be the next President of the United States of America.
She also mocked Americans.
Brennan said: “[A]ny country I have ever covered, anywhere in the world, people vote on the three feet in front of them and the kitchen table they sit down at every day and the economic issues are just so fundamental, and the experience of that, and, you know, Norah, you said earlier, maybe we overly focused on grocery prices, it’s — I think you know, Donald Trump campaigned saying he’s going to lower the price of bacon, United States. The president of the United States has nothing to do with the price of bacon, but —”
“Or eggs for that matter,” one of her co-hosts interrupted.
Brannan added, “— or eggs or any of it, but it — it — it’s promising —”
“Or gas.” someone added.
Brennan added, “Even though the head of the federal reserve and those guys quite know what they are doing in Washington but they’re making your house more expensive, because they are hiking up mortgage — you know, you don’t get that, you don’t get the national number, where Joe Biden is telling you, look, inflation is moderating and coming down, but you understand your grocery cart or the gas tank and that personal experience just seems to be what, at least people are using to justify their vote for Donald Trump when they are citing the economy.”
