Dr. Phil is tackling Election Night. The TV personality will lead live coverage on his Merit TV network, aiming for a straightforward approach to the 2024 results. “America Decides 2024” kicks off on November 5th at 3 p.m. ET with a preview anchored by Dominique Sachse and Fanchon Stinger, offering early insights from swing states.
The main event, “Dr. Phil’s Merit TV: America Decides 2024,” begins at 7 p.m. ET. Dr. Phil will guide viewers through the evening, starting with a town hall featuring undecided voters sharing their eleventh-hour choices. He’ll be joined in the studio by “The News on Merit Street” anchors Kris Gutierrez, Loni Coombs, and Lyndsay Keith, tracking poll closings and consulting with experts.
Reporters across the country will provide live updates from key states, including Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Arizona, with coverage also planned from both the Kamala Harris and Donald Trump headquarters. This broad geographic approach suggests Merit TV is aiming for comprehensive coverage, attempting to capture the national mood as the results unfold.
In a promo, Dr. Phil urges an end to political name-calling, stating that whoever wins will be “his President.” This suggests a focus on delivering results without partisan commentary, a potentially appealing approach for viewers tired of the usual election night rhetoric. It will be interesting to see if he can maintain this neutral stance, especially given his recent pro-Trump announcements.
