For five days, the country sat glued to the coverage of the 2020 Presidential Election. We were transfixed, anxious and exhausted.  Now, find out what it was like in the newsroom from the reporters that kept us informed during this extraordinary moment of American history.

Join for this unprecedented look behind the scenes of the most historic and consequential Election Night in American history.
