Quick reminder that this is the gold standard for election calls. The AP has a more than 99% success rate over its history.

If you need to know what's going on, this is the only sane source. PBS is relying on AP calls, but of course with a bit of a delay.

It is looking very grim, but I think it's important to remember that some states in 2020 had millions of votes cast and came down to a difference of 20,000 votes.

Still, disheartening.

30 minutes later he was at 267
