Steve Kornacki’s wall-to-wall election-night style — the khakis, the touchscreen, the rapid-fire number crunching — has become NBC News’ signature move on big race nights. Now the network is bringing it to California.
NBC News will deploy its so-called “Kornacki Cam” for coverage of both the Los Angeles mayoral race and the California gubernatorial contest, TV News Check reported Monday, June 2. The move puts two of the state’s highest-profile upcoming elections under the same real-time data treatment the network has used for presidential and U.S. Senate contests.
The races involved
The L.A. mayoral race and the California governor’s race are separate contests — different offices, different voter pools — but NBC is treating them as a package worth the full Kornacki treatment. Los Angeles is the second-largest city in the country; the governor’s race draws statewide turnout and national attention.
NBC News hasn’t detailed the specific broadcast logistics or which platforms the Kornacki coverage will run on. Whether it extends to streaming or stays on the linear network isn’t yet clear.
