One Twitter used noted that Blitzer was trying to 'desperately resuscitate the Clinton corpse' in response to the fact that he was calling states for Trump long after other networks and major media outlets.

CNN was also also the final network to report that Trump had won the race, waiting until 2:48am, just after he took the stage to make his victory speech in New York.

Just minutes prior, Blitzer was visibly stunned when co-host Dana Bash informed him that Clinton had conceded to Trump in a phone call.

'If Hillary Clinton has conceded, that is dramatic,' said Blitzer, live on air.

'That is a dramatic development, Dana, and to hear the words president elect, we haven’t yet projected that - but you’re saying Clinton made a formal call to Donald Trump to concede?'

Bash then again confirmed that Clinton had conceded, but still CNN did not call the election for Trump.  

As the election results rolled in, Wolf Blitzer was criticized for his coverage of the election as CNN anchors Anderson Cooper and Jake Tapper stayed out of the limelight

One by one, key battleground states like Florida, North Carolina and Ohio went to Trump throughout the night, stunning several anchors and hosts, including Anderson Cooper (right) and Blitzer (left) who anticipated Hillary Clinton would keep the lead

Blitzer was mocked on Twitter about his attempt to 'desperately resuscitate the Clinton corpse', one user tweeted. He was also criticized for repeatedly saying: 'Let's go over to John King (right) over at the "magic wall"'

King then became a US Twitter trending topic during the election coverage as evidence of this tweet

One by one, key battleground states like Florida, North Carolina and Ohio went to Trump throughout the night,but Blitzer constantly reported on the most minimal of results from the swing states that were crucial to both candidates. 

Several Twitter users said Blitzer was going to 'need post election therapy sessions, along with many other people probably'.

Some said that his election coverage showed that he was in 'denial' about Trump's success as he picked up key wins across the nation.

At one point in the evening, CNN's Brianna Keilar spoke about how difficult the night had been for Clinton supporters, saying that some were 'crying' after hearing the results at her rally.

'They were coming to this event for what they thought would even be an early night watching Hillary Clinton being elected as the first woman president, and now they are confronting the reality that they could be walking out of here not knowing, or even expecting that Donald Trump will be president,' said Keilar.

Blitzer responded by saying: 'I can certainly understand their sadness.' 

Other Twitter users said Blitzer was calling it a 'cliffhanger race hours after it was over as a contest'. 

While another user noticed that CNN hadn't called the election for Trump 'because they haven't got enough tissues for Wolf Blitzer's resultant sobbing'

Jake Tapper and Dana Bash also covered the election on CNN, but weren't in the limelight as much as Blitzer

Tapper later tweeted that the results were 'stunning' and went against what many experts and analysis predicted 

 This user said the entire 'CNN bunch looks suicidal' as the election results came in 

Several users said Blitzer was going to 'need post election therapy sessions, along with many other people probably'

Some said that his election coverage showed that he was in 'denial' about Trump's success as he picked up key wins across the nation

Blitzer was also mocked on social media for repeatedly taking about the network's 'magic wall' throughout the night, where the results where being shown to viewers.

'Let's go over to John King over at the "magic wall,"' said Blitzer every few minutes.

King then became a trending topic during the election coverage because as soon as Blitzer would throw to his he would cut him off and start talking again. 

This while Anderson Cooper, one of CNN's most prominent personalities and the moderator of the second debate remained largely unseen, leaving Blitzer, Bash and Jake Taper to do most of the coverage.
