The wide-ranging reactions to election night
An astronaut casts a vote from the International Space Station, while back on Earth a Texas man celebrates by tearing off his shirt. Good Morning America's election-night roundup looks beyond the results map to the very different ways people took in the news.
The Short, titled "The wide-ranging reactions to election night", drew roughly 440,000 views in 17 hours, far beyond the channel's usual first-day audience for Shorts. Its quick succession of reactions includes a family caught on a Ring camera during game night and an unexpected distraction on CNN: Kaitlan Collins mentions Mariah Carey, and Anderson Cooper looks up in the background.
There are familiar faces entering politics, too. The report highlights election wins for Tejano singer Bobby Pulido and former Yankees player Mark Teixeira. Chip Leighton's collection of texts from teenagers voting for the first time adds another perspective on the night.
For Maria, who posts about her former sixth-grade teacher James Talarico becoming Texas's senator-elect, the result has a classroom connection rather than a celebrity one.
The segment ends in a car in South Carolina. A young passenger, Chase, asks the voice assistant whether Annie Andrews won. When it confirms her victory, he cheers: an election-night answer delivered without a television anchor or a results map.
