John King said something that gives me hope: that Biden’s strong performance in the Ohio suburbs and the counties bordering PA bode well for PA. We shall see. And NC gives me hope. It would have been nice to have Florida, but it wasn’t a must. ---

There are too many conflicting numbers and projections out there right now. Frankly, I think it’s futile to be watching them this closely this early in the evening.
