A left-leaning article by The Washington Post highlights that hours after President Trump prematurely declared victory, Biden’s electoral position only strengthened as Michigan and Wisconsin fell into his column. Biden’s victories in Wisconsin and Michigan provided Democrats with the cautious optimism they needed.
NPR published a centrist article reporting that the election is coming down to the former Blue Wall states (Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania) that Trump won in 2016. However, even if Biden wins, this election wasn’t the blowout that Democrats were looking for, as the country remains hotly divided.
A right-leaning article by Fox News highlights that Trump is far more competitive against Biden than pollsters and the media had been predicting. CNN’s Jake Tapper said that Democrats are not going to win by “an early landslide” as some Democrats were hoping.
