By about 8pm est Florida was callable in 2020 (on account of not enough votes outstanding to make up the difference). The fact that it wasn’t called for hours tells you all you need to know about the intentions of the media on that night.

“The fact that it wasn't called for hours tells you all you need to know about the intentions of the media on that night.”

My belief at the time - still is - the networks did not want to call Florida for Trump because it would have put Trump ahead in the electoral college. The networks did not want to feed the narrative that Trump could or would win like 2016.

By the time Florida was called the equilibrium had been shifted so that Biden appeared to be undefeatable.
