The lead is down to 60k now. 15 minutes ago it was 100k and there's 33% to be counted. Biden is goosed there.

The CNN coverage is ludicrous. Apparently Biden has more options than Trump when he clearly is running out of them.

He LITERALLY has more options.

If Biden won FL it was all over. Because Trump can't lose ANYTHING from 2016.

You really need to educate yourself and stop interjecting with your incredulous pronouncements.

Biden is done. As I said a million times I would be, I’m surprised but not shocked.

4 mores years of that absolute disgrace of a man.

If the Dems would just turn out and vote the GOP and their anti democracy agenda would be a distant memory:(

You're calling this far too early.

I know. I’m disgusted though. Sick of this.

Trump should be destroyed by now.

Trump will win all these swing states by less than 10k, won't he? The fix is in.

Trump can only afford to lose a couple of states that he won in 2016 and that's what they're pointing out.

And what experts? I never see betting experts consulted on News shows for Election results.

Gamblers are not indicators of elections.

Actually, they are.

Betting markets have been a far more predictive metric of election winners than exit polls or early results.

When there is money to be made, predictions will be made well - and historically, they absolutely ARE.

Have a guess? The votes you haven't cast maybe

The bookies know. 4 more years folks. Goodnight!

With 400m+ matched on Betfair and trump trading at 1.4 it's very obvious who is in the lead and most likely to win. If you don't understand these betting markets you shouldn't comment in them, they are as close to perfect information as you can get

Granted this could still change, it's probability based and we are working with imperfect information.

What I would say is how embarrassing the media is. It was the same way in 2016, complete denial of what's going on in front of them. Fox news is a joke but they are about the only outlet reporting real info at the moment.

No he shouldn't as it's simply too early. Results not in from the key swing states that were always expected to be close.

This is a complete mess when we don't know what proportion of what States' votes are early/mail in. Look at Virginia - no way that's how it'll finish up.

Regardless of who eventually stutters to victory here, it's a ****ing damning indictment on the population of the USA that this orange gowl got so many votes.

Aye Trump is going to hold everything up to Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, which is where this will be decided, I have to admit I am rather pessimistic at this point, as Biden needs to win all 3 if things carry on like this.

The democrats chose a candidate who's no much different to their last candidate except he's older and has dementia lol? The stain is on them.

It'll just have to play out, the early vote is unprecedented and some Counties/States are in reverse order from what they would have previously. The patterns are off, we must wait till 100% in the battleground states.

Man you're way out on this. Bookmakers follow the exchanges. They're all the same. If they're not people can hedge bets and guarantee a profit. Believe me the betting market is the best indicator you will find.

Exactly, so people should probably relax a little and not get too worked up, what it does seem to be guaranteed now that Biden couldn't take Florida is that this isn't going to be called tonight.

Like Ohio, Florida, North Carolina, Georgia.....?

It's a blue mirage instead of the predicted red mirage.

The boom will be back big time in America with Trump getting 4 more years. The voters agree.

He isn't likely to lose any of them. Biden has some leads thanks to the early votes being counted first, but he's getting eaten alive as the counts go on.

Biden is looking like he HAS to win Wis/Mich/Penn now.

I'd be worried about Michigan at this stage. The fact that Trump looks like holding FL, GA, NC and OH with margins well beyond the polls is a big worry for MI and indeed PA.

letowski

North Carolina is going to Trump. Biden won't hold the 85k lead. With 3 or 4 Trump counties to come in and all the election day votes. I think the NYT have Trump 90% chance to win.
