Former CNN anchor and political analyst John Avlon, who was among the network’s fiercest critics of former President Trump, lost his bid to represent New York’s 1st Congressional District. Avlon conceded the race before midnight on Election Day, keeping the district located in the eastern part of Long Island red. LaLota won easily, earning an 11-point victory with nearly all votes reporting as of Wednesday morning. After Trump won, The Daily Beast declared it would be part of the "loyal opposition" against the president. In 2018, Avlon gushed about how The Daily Beast "roared back and took on Trump."
