WATCH: Jessica Tarlov Laments ‘Jaw-Dropping’ Election Night Numbers For Trump

On Election Night, Fox News’ Jessica Tarlov voiced her concern over the results streaming in for former President Donald Trump, particularly his rising numbers with Latino voters. On-air, Tarlov highlighted the anxiety gripping the Democratic Party as unexpected results continued to roll in, underscoring a shift that many Democrats hadn’t anticipated.

“It is in Democrats’ nature to be anxious, and we are certainly at peak anxiousness,” Tarlov began. “I think the conversation that you were having in the last panel about the Latino vote is really interesting. Some of these numbers are a little bit jaw-dropping,” she admitted. “That is going to cause a real reckoning within the party on how we talk about, message to, and integrate, you know, a huge part of our base, typically,” she noted.

Though traditionally leaning Democratic, Latino voters in some key states appear to be swaying toward Trump, a development that could impact the Democratic Party’s strategy in future elections. The party may need to address concerns over messaging and outreach efforts if they hope to retain this pivotal group’s support in the future.

The battleground states remain pivotal in the path to victory for either candidate, and as Tarlov reminded viewers, the final count could take days. But Tarlov noted that the focus for the Democratic Party is clear: “I’m hearing more and more from people that I’m speaking to, blue wall, blue wall.” Despite potential paths forward, Tarlov acknowledged that the unexpected turnout among Latino voters, particularly in traditionally Republican states like Florida and Ohio, could signal a significant challenge for the Democratic Party.

As the nation waits for final tallies, Tarlov’s comments serve as a possible forewarning for Democrats facing shifting allegiances in their core voter base. Election Day exit polls revealed a significant shift in the support of Latino men, a group that favored Democrats by a whopping margin in the last presidential election.

According to an NBC News exit poll, Latino men are backing Donald Trump by a 10-point margin, with 54% supporting Trump and 44% sticking with Kamala Harris. This is a dramatic swing from 2020 when Latino men gave Joe Biden a substantial 23-point lead over Trump.

As of the latest update, Donald Trump leads the 2024 U.S. presidential election with 230 electoral votes, while Kamala Harris has 187. The race remains tight, with several key battleground states yet to declare a winner. Trump's lead in the electoral count suggests he is well-positioned for victory, though a handful of competitive states could still sway the final outcome.

The New York Times forecast currently gives Trump an 89% chance of victory, predicting a potential final tally of around 299 electoral votes for Trump to Harris's 239.  Many traditionally red states, particularly in the Midwest and South, have gone to Trump, while Harris has held expected Democratic strongholds like California, Illinois, and New York. The outcomes in swing states like Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan are critical, as they will likely determine the victor.
