This vote time, the” Kornacki khakis” may or may not be making a comeback.

Steve Kornacki tells YSL News on film from his New York City apartment that” some citizens are undecided in the presidential race, and I guess I’m kind of indecisive.” I’m not simply a style ahead, as you might say. I’ve never had to offer to little thought to my wardrobe”.

Kornacki, 45, said “he certainly did not find” the fury over his choice of clothing during the last election period. The national political correspondent for the 2020 presidential election’s NBC and MSNBC had become well-known on social press for his close-quarters election research and personal Gap brown trousers.

” I was amused by the curiosity”, Kornacki said. ” I not fully comprehended it,” she said. It’s not like I had ( a ) lifelong attachment to these pants. They were exactly what I was using that day.

Kornacki recalled that his manufacturer inquired about the brand of jeans he had worn on-air a few days after the election, making him puzzled.

When asked if he plans to use them this time, Kornacki responded,” Even I’ll use it, even I’ll do something else.” ” We’ll notice what soul moves me”.

The slacks and Kornacki’s enthusiasm over the election results also earned him the names of” Chartthrob” and” Map mommy”.

On which one he preferred between the two, he laughs:” Option C, either. I take it in good spirit, but I’m a little self-conscious about ( the ) attention”.

Kornacki uses Dunkin’ Donuts.

The slacks may not be making a comeback this vote period, either. Turns out Kornacki today runs on Dunkin’ and has also switched from Diet Coke to espresso.

” I do n’t even know why, but I started drinking coffee a few years ago, and now that’s the main thing”, Kornacki says, adding his go-to coffee is from Dunkin’,’ which also has a branch in the basement of 30 Rockefeller Center, the home of NBC Studios.

“( It’s ) very smooth and very drinkable after 20 minutes”, he adds.

No meals before squeeze time.

While Kornacki expects to sip on countless cups of coffee, he says he will not be eating little “if whatever” in the run off and during election day, adding he drew inspiration from the late Boston Celtics manager Red Auerbach, who, according to Kornacki, “never coached a match having eaten”.

He would fast throughout the day until the game, according to Kornacki, who claimed that when he ate, it” took his edge off” and” slowed him down.” ” I understand that. That’s kind of been my experience. Not to compare myself to the great Red, but it’s an interesting perspective. A big meal definitely slows you down, even something in between”.

On election night, Kornacki added that he does n’t want to be on a full stomach.

According to Kornacki,” I want to have so much energy just from the interest in the election results.” ” I do n’t want to take that away ( by eating )”.

Kornacki claims that his energy will last the night, rather than his food, in contrast to CNN’s John King and Fox News ‘ Bill Hemmer.

We spend a lot of time in the run-up to an election, trying to figure out what’s going on, and coming up with all kinds of different theories, Kornacki said, which is why I enjoy doing elections and election nights. ” That’s truly where the adrenaline comes in. For me, it’s’ I do n’t know what’s going to happen, but we’re going to find out.'”

Kornacki explained that putting information together like puzzle pieces” comes in piece by piece” during election night thrills him.

” Just watching that piece by piece ( is ) riveting to me, and I hope it is for the audience too”, he said. ” I hope the experience is we’re all seeing this map ( of America ) slowly come into focus and take shape together”.

managing one’s physical and mental health

One’s mental and physical health are bound to be affected by a high-octane event like this, and Kornacki is aware of this, pointing out that” the fatigue did finally start to hit” him on Election Day, the Saturday following the election. Kornacki has become the subject of social media memes and chatter because of his unwavering commitment to staying awake throughout the entire election process.

” I was barely sleeping”, Kornacki says. ” But for a few days there, I really did n’t feel that at all. By the end, I was on like an hour of sleep for three days ( and ) when you’re severely sleep-deprived, I think you get more emotional”.

Kornacki claimed that it felt like “weird jet lag” even though he was n’t aware if feeling emotionally induced was a “medically established thing.”

” I remember the Friday night before ( Saturday’s presidential election result ), I had a quick break”, the anchor said. I stepped off the air, and it was a strange sensation that I have never experienced before. It was n’t a particular thing, I just felt very emotional. Nothing or anything about the outcome was involved.

Kornacki did manage to catch up on his sleep later, saying that when the election got called, he” slept that Saturday longer than ( he had ) ever slept in ( his ) life”.

Given that this election took place at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and an overcrowded mail-in voting system, the journalist believes there is a risk in trying to anticipate anything from elections.

Kornacki said he finds “little pockets to go clear my head” by taking a walk in New York City to make sure he is present and active when he is on air.

” That’s helpful because you’re just trying to absorb all this information, these spreadsheets, maps, blah, blah and to get my head away from that and ( get in ) some fresh air”, Kornacki said. It’s simple to get lost in the weeds while preparing for this stuff, and on occasion I just need to take a step back and determine what’s really important and be ready to communicate.

Kornacki says he will leave early in the afternoon to clear his head on Election Day.

You’ll be flooded all day with anecdotal reports from all over the place, Kornacki said,” What happens on election day is that.” ” I want to tune out all the racket in the afternoon hours, and then come in when it gets real.”

On Tuesday, Kornacki will discuss election results on the” Big Board,” and viewers will be able to watch it all on the” Kornacki Cam.”

Politics has turned into a “permanent campaign.”

As for Kornacki’s plans after the elections are over, the anchor jokes:” 2028 starts already. They call it the permanent campaign, right”?

However, he says he does plan on taking a vacation but has n’t decided where.

Because I enjoy the fall as a season, Kornacki claims,” I ca n’t imagine a perfect vacation.” ” In an election year like this, I do n’t get to enjoy fall. Every day, I take a 12-minute walk outside to the subway station and work. And that’s basically how I’ve experienced fall this year”.

He adds:” In a normal year, I would find a way to get out. I’m from New England originally and ( during ) foliage season, ( I can ) drive around. That’s what I’d love to do, ideally, on a vacation”.
