Fox News just reaffirmed AZ for Biden. Their call on that stands.

I rarely even look at fox, but I was curious and they just reaffirmed their call for AZ for Biden.

Amazing to see fox have a split screen for the Biden/Harris stage! Live streaming it!

Fox can't quite bring themselves to admit that. Nevada is more a certain thing than AZ so if you models let you call AZ then NV is a done deal.

I think Fox wants someone else to declare Biden the winner first. Sadly all the other networks are milking this for every cheeseburger ad they can get.

We know how it'll end, so take some pleasure from knowing that every day of this is making Trump more miserable. He can't really attack the result until he has a result to attack, so he has to wait and worry.

but others have also explained the idea well. Dragging out the results beyond a reasonable level of caution isn't safe for our country.

The "process of mental acceptance", as you call it, has already started. Maybe it's kind of like removing an adhesive bandage. Is it better to pull slowly or just rip it off? Maybe slow realization will help ward off a large, organized, uprising.

allows better acceptance. I think that waiting the past few days and allowing things to sink in has helped Trumpists, but dragging it out too far (past today) creates a political and factual vacuum that is very easy for fascists to fill in with damaging ideas. It needs to be finished, or things will just get worse.

because AZ is far more shaky of a call than NV, so if you are going to stick with calling the former, you should call the latter.

OR

Call the latter, and retract the former.

Either make logical sense.

to be put aside. He said nothing about stopping the count however.
He wants a report back on Saturday about it.

I think these networks want this to last as long as possible for viewership and ads.

173,000 ballots to go and if trump keeps closing as he has for a while, Biden should still win by 15,000-20,000 votes.
