Why hasn't AP, MSNBC etc called WI For Biden? In 16 the state would've been called yesterday based

... on the votes that were left and where they were to be counted.

Looks like the MSM is trying ... not ... to piss the Trump campaign off vs doing the right thing

They called WI in 2016 late on Election Night with a 20,000 vote difference. Same as this time.

Ds need to press hard to get this in our bag. It gives us good PR advantage.

Absolutely no reason to differ between 2016 and 2020.

Watching MSNBC, as soon as one of their guests mentions Biden will be the president, whoever the host is, gets really defensive about it. "Biden hasn't been projected as the president."
