In general, I think if the exit polls show one candidate up by double digits, networks will call a state at poll closing. Despite their total incompetence in election administration, it's probably fair to say that California and New York will be instantly called for Biden.

If it's a margin of 5 points or less, I feel like they'll usually wait until over 90% of the vote has been counted, even if one candidate is leading the whole time. That's when they ended up calling Florida, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin for Trump.
