"Foxs Arizona Call for Biden Flipped the Mood at Trump Headquarters
The Fox News decision left the president fuming, and his team complaining. Then he began casting aspersions on other states vote counts."

Inside the East Room, the mood was upbeat as hundreds of people, including cabinet secretaries, ambassadors and former officials who have remained loyal to Mr. Trump, mingled and dined on sliders and French fries. Officials who had been pessimistic about the presidents re-election chances suddenly started to picture four more years in power.
That mirage of victory was pierced when Fox News called Arizona for former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. at 11:20 p.m., with just 73 percent of the states vote counted. Mr. Trump and his advisers erupted at the news. If it was true that Arizona was lost, it would call into doubt on any claim of victory the president might be able to make.
Jared Kushner, the presidents son-in-law and senior adviser, was also in touch with Rupert Murdoch, the Fox News owner, as the night wore on. And on Wednesday morning, Mr. Trumps campaign manager, Bill Stepien, insisted the president would win Arizona by 30,000 votes.

There isn't much to report except the riots in Arizona.
There are no more totals released from AZ until tomorrow. GA is updates their numbers about once an hour. I have not read anything about PA numbers here on DU since this afternoon and I've been on here all day.

(10,885 posts)No repeats of any of their shows as they usually do each night. All the anchors have had their hours shifted to accommodate the coverage, so no one is on at their regular hour. (ex: Rachel Maddow was on at 8:00 last evening, and then BriWi.
