As Jimmy Fallon asked Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Oct. 23 when he thought the country would know the election results, Sanders quickly spun out a very specific prediction.
In-person ballots cast in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin would initially favor President Trump. But the early lead would not last too long, Sanders warned. Once election officials began counting late-arriving ballots, Joe Biden would rise.
Then, Sanders said, Trump would go on TV to falsely proclaim himself the winner.
He says, Thank you Americans for reelecting me. Its all over. Have a good day, Sanders said on The Tonight Show last month.
Less than two weeks later, as many of Sanderss guesses seemed to play out in real time on election night, a clip of his predictions on Fallons show went viral on Twitter, where one video has gotten about 29 million views as of early Thursday.

In states where ballots are counted early there was no red mirage.
