    Unless they are counting in some weird order that nobody ever expected, he has. By several points. The remaining votes are *very* red.

    Might be sooner. I already knew that N.C. and Fla. were pre-counting the mail in and absentee votes, and I heard on NPR that Ga. is also. If any of those go for Biden, Trump's in deep doody. If he loses two we can pretty much all go on to bed.

    Putting one's faith in FL, GA, NC, OH, PA and AZ simultaneously will never be rewarded

    If Trump wins Florida, we move on to the next hurdle.

    Election nights are when we see how far news standards have fallen. There are great reporters out there no doubt - but when you have to produce live television and don't have a stack of produced-ahead content that you know exactly how it will play, and you have to have people who don't normally cover politics covering politics - it shows.
    Hell, Al Michaels, Jim McKay, Bob Costas would be crushing this election if they were behind a desk.

    He really only needs one from that list. But why would something good happen when something bad could happen instead?

    CNN keeps calling Florida close. It’s tied. Except the Panhandle hasn’t reported yet. It’s gonna be an easy Trump win.

    Are they including mail-in votes in that total?

    This was one of the final 270towin projection maps with close polling has Biden losing Florida for what it's worth.

    CNN isn't saying. John King says early in person voting, so we'll see what happens when mail in starts to be recorded. That said, I'm not holding my breath for Florida.

    Yes, he has. They just haven't called it. Still, he didn't need Florida.

    We'll see if this is true, but I'm seeing several similar takes:
