But before he could leave, Steve soon returned to the coverage and exclaimed, “Something just came in!”

At that moment, politician Francesca Hong, 37, had taken the lead in Dane County, Wisconsin in the Democratic gubernatorial primary.

Steve remarked: “Oh my God, I almost went to the bathroom for that, okay.”

After NBC posted the clip online, one person penned: “Steve is a national treasure.

“The passion he has for maps and tracking elections is second to none.”

Another added: “NBC, y’all did not have to post this”, adding three laughing emojis.

A third wrote: “He’s the reason I watch them on election night, if he wasn’t there I probably wouldn’t watch!”
