Biden holds a substantial lead, +78000. There's 125000 left to count, so since 100% of those votes are coming from 2 blue counties, let's call this one for the next President , and keep counting anyway.

30,000 or 35,000, and Biden is making rapid progress.

Other outlets could call PA before that. To win PA, Trump would have to get 66% of the reported 83,589 remaining ballots to be counted.

I'm predicting they call PA today, and hopefully NV.

They were the first to call Ohio and the entire election for Obama in 2012.

I’m sick and tired of Trump’s mental illness controlling even this narrative.

He will complain and run to the courts no matter what. It makes absolutely no sense to hold the rest of us hostage when it’s clear what will happen. (And. I confess, the tinfoil hat in me sometimes thinks some kind of “November surprise” may be in the works, even though I know better. But the longer this goes on, the more uncertainty there is on everyone’s part. And that is not healthy, either.)

CALL IT. Meanwhile, I’m going to clean out the cache of shows on my DVR. Have a good one, all!
