NV definitely should have been called Friday morning at latest. They held out weirdly long on NV when Biden was up by more than 2%.
Because AP and FOX called Arizona for Biden. Calling Nevada would put Biden at 270.

CNN didn't want to call Arizona. Nor did they want to call the election. But if they called Nevada than that would force AP to call Nevada. And thus the election. Which means CNN would have to call the election.

I feel like there was an unspoken agreement among media networks to call NV/PA and the overall election at the same time, when everyone felt safe.

But while CNN is my chosen source of news, they dragged things out. I hate FOX but I appreciate them being willing to end things. Same thing happened in 2018, they said Democrats would win the House long before the other networks did.

Similarly in 2016 all networks except FOX waited to call WI/PA at around the same time. FOX didn't but they waited to call AZ just as long as the others, I think.
