North Carolina looks good right now but there's some concern Biden isn't winning it by the margins he needs to to push back against Trump in same-day voting. This is why the NYT, despite Biden winning by nine-points, gives Trump a 57% chance of winning.

when it was the votes rolling in over a few days that really made the blue wave?

I think Biden is unlikely to be playing catch up in many swing states. He'll be playing defense.

So Biden is playing defense with his numbers. The mid-western states will be different as they didn't get to count votes till early today.

But maybe it will be closer to tie on election day votes.

I'm afraid it's going be another 4 years....each state Trump needed to flip from the polling he's getting. Just like 2016.
