On Election Day, Chris Matthews explains how he used to hide from vote tallies during election night because he was so nervous. He talks about the mood of the nation headed into election night.

Chris Matthews shares his thoughts about Election Day anxiety, and why this year feels so different from four years ago. “In 2008, there was a rush, a whole sense of movement,” he said. “This time, there’s a stillness in the air, and that’s why there’s so much uncertainty.”

“It’s a troubling day. You just don’t know,” Matthews said. “Nobody does.”
