Where can I watch Ali Velshi? And will he have his vest on?

Ali Velshi — and his iconic vest — will be breaking down key races as the votes are counted and winners are called all night long. Can’t get enough of the Big Board? Tune in to our continuous Velshi Cast, streaming live on MS NOW’s YouTube channel and on TikTok throughout the night.

What is the MS NOW Members Lounge: Election Night Live Q&A experience?

Beginning at 8 p.m. ET on Nov. 3, Stephanie Ruhle, Eugene Daniels, Katy Tur and Luke Russert will host the first-of-its-kind MS NOW Members Lounge: Election Night Live Q&A. For three hours, MS NOW Members will help guide the conversation by posting their questions directly to reporters and hosts in New York and across the country.

There is no traditional rundown for this very special election-night experience. After all, we don’t know exactly what will be discussed. Only you do.

You can access the live Q&A by going to the ms.now homepage, signing into the mobile app or heading over to our YouTube channel or TikTok. But only Members can contribute questions.

Will there be election Community discussions?

Visit the Community Hub for thought-provoking and engaging discussions posted for our MS NOW Members.

MS NOW reporters will also be engaging with our Community directly. Keep an eye out. But remember, only Members can comment and participate.

How can I become a Member?

Signing up is easy! Just visit ms.now/membership on your phone or laptop and follow the instructions. I cannot wait to see you there!
