Are the news channels waiting for prime time to make the call?

Would get bigger ratings.

1. Right before the Biden speech

It’s no coincidence he is speaking tonight.

2. I hope they're waiting for Fox News to be first . . .

That may go a ways towards tamping down the MAGAt's agitations.

3. They are conflicted

It is tough trying to balance stringing people along to keep the ratings up and having viewers go away out of fatigue or disgust.

If they can drag it out over the weekend with some BREAKING updates of little importance they will.

7. They're waiting for the votes to be counted

Imagine that?

[Yonnie3]

8. Yes, imagine that

They've been burnt before.

Edit to add: and it didn't stop them from calling early again.

4. There are still issues in some states.

For one, according to reports, there are 60k-100k provisional ballots in PA that are unlikely to split the same way as other late-counted ballots. So, it can't be assumed they'll go heavily for Biden. Hence; no call.

5. I saw on Twitter last night

where someone's 4 year old asked her mother when the "map show" would be over.

6. The networks are absolutely getting raked over the coals for not calling the race on Twitter.

9. Twitter sounds like a bunch of three-year-olds jumping up and down because they want their Binky NOW
