Steve Kornacki is an American political journalist and chief data analyst. He is best known for his marathon election night coverage, where he uses his 'big board' to provide in-depth analysis of polling and election results.
The search spike coincided with the November 4, 2025, election night, as loyal viewers noted his absence from his usual spot on MSNBC. Kornacki recently moved to a new role as Chief Data Analyst for NBC News and NBC Sports, meaning his election coverage is now exclusively broadcast on NBC News platforms (like NBC News NOW) and not on MSNBC, which is in the process of spinning off from NBCUniversal.
Kornacki is a popular figure whose high-energy, data-driven analysis of county-level voting is eagerly anticipated during elections. His absence from MSNBC became a talking point and a symbolic moment in the network's transition to a new corporate structure and brand, with his presence now marking a clear difference between the coverage on the new MSNBC (MS NOW) and NBC News.
