Hosts and Guests

The live cast will be moderated by Harry Enten and feature notable guests such as radio host Charlamagne tha God, conservative podcaster and author Ben Shapiro, and technology journalist Kara Swisher. Unlike typical news setups, the group will discuss voting results informally while seated on couches, enjoying food and drinks.

The show will air starting at 8:30 p.m. Eastern Time on “All Access,” accessible to subscribers of CNN’s streaming platform.
