Poll expert who promised to eat bug on live TV if Trump won the election, eats bug on CNN

Sam Wang, like many other poll experts, was extremely confident in a Hillary Clinton winning the US presidential election last Tuesday. So confident, in fact, that he said he would eat a bug if Trump received over 240 electoral college votes. That wouldn’t have even been enough to give Trump a win, but Trump got significantly more than 240 electoral college votes, 290 in fact, so Wang, who teaches at Princeton University, followed through on his promise, and ate a bug on TV.
