I wish kornacki would talk about Virginia. Nbc News website is showing Harris down by 1.3% with 54% in. I want him to talk about what vote is still outstanding, and how bad this actually is for Harris

Now 285. And hell, they have her popular vote lead shrinking down to 0.6% at this point.

The NYT needle is depressing.

Overall itjust moved from toss up to lean R.

Individual battle grounds have GA and NC more than 75% likely Red, AZ 66% red, PA an Nevada 53% and 54% chance red while Wisconsin and Michigan are even.

Yup.

Now I have one final dream - Trump wins the popular vote by cutting margins in CA but Harris squeaks out a victory in PA/WI/MI by super-small margins. Watch the GOP blow up over the unfairness of the Electoral College.

Stupid Selzer poll got my hopes up, when my head was sure this was how it was going for months now.

AP has also called Ohio and Texas for Trump.

I see Harris ahead of trump 56-40 in Penn. VA is still too close to call. NC is an outside chance for Harris. Nothing from Nevada as the polls arent closed.

I am really surprised trump took Florida by that much. I know winning it for Harris was an outside chance, but 56-42??

Cruz is winning In TX but by a small amount.

Remember, the Selzer poll is Iowa-specific, not a national poll.

It’ll change, but AP has Harris ahead in Iowa by 17 points (9% reporting).

Yeah, unfortunately one of the reports is from Des Moines, known for its large underground Democratic population.

The Times needle gives Trump 66% of winning. I’m disgusted.

In reliably red Missouri, which has already been called for Trump, Democrats are currently leading in every statewide race. I have not even the faintest hope that a single Democrat will win any statewide office. All it means is that St. Louis, Kansas City and Columbia are faster at counting votes.

That would require NE-1 to go for Harris, which I have very little hope of.
