MS NOW published a story headlined “MS NOW's Kabir Khanna talks key races to watch on election night,” but the copy does not give a polling time for What time do polls open on election day? It instead points readers to election-night coverage built around Khanna and several MS NOW journalists.
The headline’s promise is narrow and practical: election-night race watch coverage. The text itself, though, does not list the races Khanna discussed, so readers get the hook without the detail that would turn it into a usable guide.
Jackie Alemany and The Weekend
One of the named figures is Jackie Alemany, identified as an MS NOW Washington Reporter and co-anchor of The Weekend. She also previously covered Washington for The Washington Post and earned the 2022 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service for coverage of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
That biographical detail sits beside the election-night headline, and it changes how the piece reads: the story is not a polling explainer, but a package that leans on the experience of reporters who cover Washington closely. Readers looking for poll-open timing will not find it in the supplied text.
Eugene Daniels and Clock It
Eugene Daniels is identified as an MS NOW Senior Washington Reporter and co-anchor of MS NOW’s The Weekend. He is also the co-host of the MS NOW original podcast Clock It with Symone & Eugene.
The text also says Daniels was the Chief Playbook Correspondent and White House Correspondent for POLITICO and the former president of the White House Correspondents Association. Those roles explain why his name appears in a story framed around election-night political coverage rather than a single race or a single state.
Jonathan Capehart on PBS NewsHour
Jonathan Capehart is listed as another co-anchor of The Weekend, and the copy adds that he serves as a political analyst on PBS NewsHour. It also says he is featured on the Friday segment Brooks and Capehart and won the Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Writing in 1999 for his editorial campaign to save the Apollo Theater.
That leaves the main gap untouched. The headline points to key races on election night, but the provided text supplies journalist biographies instead of the races themselves, so the useful takeaway is where the coverage comes from, not which contests Khanna singled out.
For readers tracking election-night coverage, the practical move is simple: treat this as a signpost to an MS NOW election package, not as a source for poll-opening times or race-by-race guidance. The unresolved question is straightforward — what specific key races did Kabir Khanna identify for election night?
