Obviously there's no results coming in yet, as far as I know even the Eastern states are still open, but there doesn't seem to have been a start of announcements yet.  The media usually goes in for that, 2016 being the only exception that I recall.  They usually want to be the first ones to announce the winner, even if it's just a county or town.  By now they should be able to at least announce a bunch of places Biden won.

In theory, they wouldn't want to make that mistake again, but the left has doubled down on everything else they've done for the last four years so why would this be different?  The "Dewey Beats Truman" headline is part of history for a reason, except that it was a Chicago newspaper announcing the defeat of a Democrat.  Hasn't happened since.  But now, more than ever, they want to announce their enemy's defeat.

I guess the only question is if they'll even try to announce their own defeat.
