HERE WE GO AGAIN: Head of Fox News Decision Desk Warns Election Result Will Take Around Five Days
Gateway Pundit ^ | 10/21/2024 | Ben Kew

Posted on 10/21/2024 2:26:00 PM PDT by DFG

The head of the discredited Fox News decision desk has warned that the presidential election result will likely take around five days.

In another complete break from presidential election norms, Fox News pollster Arnon Mishkin has said that he is expecting the race to be called by the Saturday after election day, some five days after the polls have closed.

Mishkin, who is a registered New York Democrat and was responsible for the infamous Fox News call in Arizona back in 2020, said in an interview with Politico.

The report states:

The man who may call the winner of the 2024 presidential election is ready to make a prediction for at least when the news will come.

“The over/under is Saturday,” said Arnon Mishkin, the head of Fox News’ decision desk. “Which was when the call was made last time.”

In an interview with POLITICO Magazine at the News Corp. building in Midtown Manhattan, Mishkin said that he plans on calling the election as soon as he can, but that a protracted vote count means it may take a few days.

Regardless though, he said he feels no pressure from executives at the conservative-leaning network to “make our audience happy.”

I switched from cable to Roku Nov 2020. I have not watched Faux News on TV or online since and have avoided their website.

That’s wrong. Fox news can call an election before the last polls close.

Takes a few days for the left to make up the votes they need.

I feel like the Democrats may throw caution to the wind and cheat as much as they need to, no matter what. Kamala needs a mandate. Trump gets 100 million votes (legit)? Well, Kamala and Tim are so awesome that they got 140 million votes!!!!!! It may take a few days to print those ballots, but it’s a landslide!!

Why is Fox News in charge of our elections?

This?

They called Florida for gore befor the central time zone closed polls in Pensacola

They called Az in 2020 before determining that trump won

Now they are doing this and pretending they’re not going to call some state early. They will. It’s what they do

Then baier and that dispicable Martha wazzername will be out there the next day smiling under KH posters

They will not get away with it this time. Maybe they’ll be the last to know

But they are simply not in charge

> Too many voters

Does this mean that they’ll call Arizona after the polls close instead of before like in 2020?

I remeber when Reagan beat Carter, it was announced at 4pm on Election Day.

I remember John Chanceller calling the win for Reagan on election night 1980 at 7:30 on NBC. Did we go backwards in vote tabulation and computers since then?

This is a new-ish and unfortunately very effective globalist trick of late. “Get ready everyone this will take days.” Our only effing hope is a landslide that’s it!

All Podesta and CO need to do is concentrate on AZ, NC, PA and MI. It’s a crime and it’s upsetting. Of course they can’t let the guy who is winning over the masses win.

Yes, I remember when NBC began their Election Night coverage in 1980, within minutes of going on the air, John Chancellor proclaimed (paraphrasing here) "We expect Governor Reagan to have a good night tonight." It took a little longer before officially calling the race, but we knew very early on that night the Gipper would be the next president.

That was back when there was just one day of voting and paper ballots.

Nope. After Trump wins VA,NC,AZ,NV, it’s over. No pathway for MattressBack. AP will call it for TrumpII before noon the following day.

Then watch what happens with all eyes on MI and PA still counting! I guarantee you Shapiro has a plan to pull the plug when Trump is declared and go with the flow. Zero chance PA goes 100 hours again and am happy to make that bet where loser pays JimRob.

This Fox f—- is simply kissing Lachlan Murdoch’s ass, essentially ginning up this garbage to satisfy LM and the fact the dinks are burning up Lachlan’s phone. Do you think for one moment Fox will leave themselves out of an election call for Trump once he closes out Karamela’s pathway?

Funny how other countries can know the night of the election, but we can’t anymore...

They just revealed their hand. They want chaos they want destruction they want the people up in arms …they want to destroy this nation. If they have it their way they will conjure up a corrosive civil war to divide and destroy what is left of this country. And they will use the criminal illegal invaders to fire the first shot. What do you think they let them in for?

Expect the media WILL NOT call any swing state that Trump is leading in on election night, no matter how far ahead he is.

Expect they WILL immediately call these states for Kamala, even if she's leading by wispy thin margins with thousands of votes waiting to be counted.

Expect for Kamala to not offer a concession if she's losing on election night. Trump will immediately be asked for his concession if she's winning.

My longshot bet: Trump is winning soundly, the media have not called the election and Kamala has not conceded the race when Biden calls Trump to congratulate him, earning him the enmity of Democrats everywhere and allowing Biden one last "FU!" to those who threw him under the bus. Like I said, longshot.

And they weren’t happy.
