The media think they’re in charge of calling races.

But they obviously all don’t agree. NYT’s needle has been sitting on the peg for over an hour and they won’t call it for Trump. The only plausible reason is to avoid discouraging voters out west. If so they’ll probably do it right after polls close in the west.

“NYT’s needle has been sitting on the peg for over an hour and they won’t call it for Trump.”

It it the NYT’s job to be the official outlet to call a race?

I'm telling my family that the reason is agenda.

If anyone is the first to call Florida for Trump, then they are forced to go down the narrative of "path to win for Biden." They are forced to ask what it means for Georgia, for North Carolina, for Ohio, even Virginia.

The nets don't want to go there, so they're refusing to call Florida for Trump.

Newsmax has Trump at 278 EVs already. They called FL a long time ago.
