They have given Pennsylvania to Trump - Casey Briggs on ABC said that Trump will get to 270, however, they aren’t officially calling it yet until the AP does so.
Did they rehearse this? Awful lighting
Why are they waiting for AP?
Because that’s where they are getting the data from.
I stuck solely with NBC News the whole night. Coverage was good, they didn’t get emotional unlike CNN or presumably MSNBC. Some rational analysis. And NBC’s presentation is always class.
I hate how American political reporting treats elections though. They talk about candidates underperforming or overperforming, campaigns spending money and visiting cities and voters being receptive or unreceptive to certain messages from parties.
But there’s never any actual analysis of what the actual policies are, nor any comparisons on what each party is offering on certain issues. It’s totally bizarre to me.
: At 5:30am EDT (9:30pm AEDT), CNN has officially called the race. Donald Trump will become the 47th president of the United States.
BBC has also called it
Have you slept at all in the last 24 hours?
ABC & AP also projecting Trump to win.
Really loved Amazon’s set. Some good experts too.
Official sad face…
Casey Briggs has been excellent on the ABC
An excellent presenter and fine successor to Antony Green for when he decides to call it a day (when Antony wants to step back of course).
Why’d they send Lorna down to Melbourne?
