Van Jones' moving reaction to Joe Biden's presumed election win pretty much says it all
Nailed it.
In the breathless moments after major networks called the 2020 election for presumed President-elect Joe Biden, the response from CNN's Van Jones stands out. He was moved to tears and silence as he collected himself, describing his feelings on a Biden win after four years of divisive, toxic rhetoric from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
"It's easier to be a parent this morning," Jones began, no doubt echoing the feelings of millions all around the country. (As a new parent myself, that's certainly where my head was at.) The rest of his words, and the emotion behind them, seem like they're addressed directly to his children, and to all the children around the U.S. who can once again look forward to having role models in the president and vice president.
