At 9:33 p.m., anchor Bret Baier declared, “We are now ready to make one of the biggest calls of the night. The Fox News Decision Desk can now project the Democrats will take control of the House of Representatives for the first time in eight years.”
“A lot of listeners out there, their heads are exploding, but this is going to be a very different Washington,” his colleague Chris Wallace said.
At a time when it seemed the night could be turning away from Democrats, the Fox News call of the House was the first by any media outlet. And for about 50 minutes, Fox News was alone in its certainty, providing possibly the biggest drama in a night when the overall themes were roughly what pundits expected. Some liberals seized on the declaration as cause for hope, while others on both sides of the political spectrum took to Twitter with evidence-free speculation about why the network had made its call so early.
Fox News attributed its quick call to its new “Fox News Voter Analysis” system, launched in partnership with the AP ahead of the midterms. Rather than rely on notoriously flawed exit polls, Fox said its new methodology is based on surveys conducted across 50 states by NORC at the University of Chicago, a non-partisan research group, in combination with voting results collected by the AP.

I bet he won't be smiling as much. And the insufferable Chris Wallace won't be with him either
I put the wrong date. Should be 11/7/18, not 11/7/22.
Just habit of putting in the current year. Sorry about that.
Is NeverTrump News wearing black today?
And I bet they won’t be calling it for days...
“Is NeverTrump News wearing black today?”
That’s tomorrow, haha
I will NOT be watching Fox News tonight. Sure, they have a good prime time lineup, but their “news” people are like MSNBC-lite. They are always trying to hurt the GOP/conservatives.
He is on the list and has a slot reserved at Gitmo (if he's not already there) for his tribunal...
Does anyone know of a good source to watch the results? Preferably one that’s not fox,cnn,MSNBC or any other mainstream news.
Do you guys ever actually watch Fox News? The coverage is nothing like this.
Louder with Crowder on Rumble. They will “talk over” the reporting, but usually funny or informative facts.
No, because I don’t have the channel anymore and haven’t for years. But I wouldn’t if I did.
I remember the ‘Fox Decision Desk’ with 6% of the votes tallied in Arizona awarding Arizona to Bidet. That is the Fox election coverage I remember.

There, fixed it
Fox News is no longer welcome at my house. When Steve Douchebag Doocey implied that Trump took nuclear info to sell to Putin, was the icing on the cake. Newsmax is a little better, Real America New is much better.
Chris Stirewalt nowhere to be found......still hiding under a rock.
Get another face lift Bret.
Baier is as much an asswipe lefty as Wallace was.
I loathe and despise him.
Brett Baier is a registered democrat. Should be no surprise.
Baier needs to be given a dirt nap.
