NBC News and MSNBC political correspondent Steve Kornacki had only slept for a few hours in the five days between Election Day and the afternoon of Nov. 7 when the board with his electoral vote map showed Joe Biden winning the presidency. But it was his necktie that got the worst of it.
The blue, green and white striped tie was held together by staples by the end of the bruising 2020 campaign. A few days later, Kornacki posted a picture of it on Twitter, where his growing legion of fans said it belonged in the Smithsonian.
On his way home from the Rockefeller Center studio, Kornacki called his agent Olivia Metzger to tell her about the tie, which he had tossed in a wastebasket. In the fog of covering the election results, Kornacki had not yet absorbed how he became a TV icon and internet obsession (#chartthrob and #TrackingKornacki were among his hashtags) and that the clothing accessory was a part of history.
