Just saw this on TPM. Fox News is prepping to call NV for Biden should it go like they expect. They have already called AZ for Biden. They will be the first network to declare Joseph R. Biden the 46th President of the United States!
Fitting. They may be as tired of his act as anybody.
I just hope they know what they're doing when they do so.

StevieM
(10,500 posts)But Nevada has now said that they will be announcing results around 12 PM tomorrow.
Arizona may have their final numbers released tonight, but that is not certain. Still, enough votes may be in, and the margin may be wide enough, that Biden will be called the winner in Arizona by all networks.

Trump was only good to Fox when they kissed his ass 24/7. Now he treats them like they are the enemy. Calling the race for Biden must bring them some satisfaction. They apparently realized that eventually, Trump will throw everyone under the bus, no exceptions.
Someone should have warned Trump not to piss off Fox. They are far more powerful than he is and they'll still be there once he is gone.

So pathetic.

Doubly delicious to tune in if Tantrum Trumpy were to call in whining the next few nights.

(884 posts)Fox is not so much pro-Republican as they are ANTI-democrat. I think they'd rather have a competent Democratic administration to rail against than an incompetent Republican one to try to defend.
I'm really hoping it does get called for Biden tonight. My best friend's mother, who was also like a second mother to me, passed this morning, and it would be a fitting tribute to her for Biden to win on the same day.

(8,827 posts)I live in rural WNC half way up a mountain, facing another mountain adjacent the valley between us. Lots of shooting on weekends, but today As I worked outside listening to Sirius XM progressive radio, each time a state called Biden a winner, there were semi automatic blasts from multiple directions around the Mountain sides. I would just shout out,Shoot them damn liberals. I own guns, but have no idea how they pay for all the ammo. Especially this last few years, but today sounded like Jungles in Vietnam Nam. From experience.

(62,276 posts)It's how they've taken so many. They know the game really well. Get the election locked. Move on, take power, move on, demoralize the enemy, etc. They don't fuck around, when the numbers are as they are, it's done.

(25,486 posts)It was thought they were at 98% reporting, but it was actually 86%. That's where the confusion came from and why there are still outstanding ballots. Based on where the ballots are from and when they were returned, still looks like a Biden win there.

(3,729 posts)I don't see how you can call it tonight. May be a heavy lean, but if there is no new news tonight, you may be risking a Dewey Defeats Truman, however unlikely.
Personally I'd rather they wait. Let the MAGATs twist in the wind a little longer.
ffr
(22,672 posts)and comparing them to various scenarios. Biden has a slim lead in the early election day count, but it doesn't take into account mail-ins for Washoe and Clark counties, the two heaviest democratic counties in the state. Here are the numbers they show based on registration from 11/4 this AM:
Total votes: 1,274887
Dems: 454,078
Reps: 406,656
Other: 285,139
https://www.nvsos.gov/sos/home/showdocument?id=9054
You have to make some assumptions, but if you apply these ratios to the remaining count in already democratic counties, it's easy to infer that the vote ratios will only help Biden. Formality is about all that remains.
