The final countdown is on.
With just days to go until the 2024 presidential election, the “Watch What Happens Live!” audience took part in predicting next week’s result.
Host Andy Cohen asked viewers Wednesday night for their thoughts on which candidate would emerge victorious in the November 5 election: former president Donald Trump, or Vice President Kamala Harris.
“WWHL” viewers correctly predicted the result of the 2016 presidential election. @BravoWWHL/XCohen said that the show’s previous poll of the 2016 presidential election correctly predicted that Trump would win the US presidency over Hillary Clinton.
“Back in 2016, we asked our viewers who they were supporting for president right before the election,” the Bravo honcho said.
At the time, 65% of the “WWHL” audience voted for Trump during the survey, while 25% cast their vote for Clinton.
“We were the only show at the time to predict the winner of that election, so we are going to do it again, I want to see where our audience stands in 2024,” Cohen said.
Vice President Kamala Harris emerged victorious in this year’s poll. Michael Brochstein/ZUMA Press Wire / SplashNews.comCohen opened up the floor to the audience, asking, “If the election were held today, would you vote for Donald Trump or Kamala Harris?”
Much to Cohen’s surprise, Harris won the poll with 73%, while Trump only racked up 27% of the audience’s vote.
“Wow. Alright, ok. I thought that was going to go the other way,” Cohen said. “Well, there you go. This is interesting, you guys are going for Kamala Harris. That is what we would call a landslide.”
The poll’s result left reality star Meredith Marks visibly stunned. @BravoWWHL/XCohen’s celebrity guests Meredith Marks and Adam Pally were also visibly surprised by the result.
It comes as Cohen last week endorsed Harris, citing reproductive rights, gun control, and minimum wage increases as the reason for his vote.
“I believe women should have jurisdiction over their bodies,” Cohen wrote on Instagram on Oct. 23. “As a gay American dad who had kids through IVF, the Supreme Court is on the ballot and I don’t want it filled with (more) right wing extremists who will take away my rights.”
Trump will be vying for a second term in the White House following his 2016 win over Clinton. AP“I believe in sensible gun control. I believe in building the middle class, and raising the minimum wage,” he continued. “She is mentally fit to serve as Commander in Chief and not too old for the job. America should never cozy up to dictators. She will be a President for all Americans.”
“I believe January 6 was one of the darkest days in our history, the result of a weak man’s fragile ego. I don’t want to go back,” he added.
