I've been thinking about this comment a lot in the context that it came mere hours before noted Trumpian Nate Silver said Fox and AP should retract the call.

And to be clear, Biden could still win Arizona. But the idea that North Carolina remains uncalled and Arizona is called is just laughable among any quality GOP pollster. That's not a depiction of reality.
Also: Alaska. Come. On.
I realize Fox really wants to get this right, like any network. There is no ulterior motive. They have a Decision Desk they trust. But there is an elephant in the room in every segment now: did they get this wrong, and essentially make Nevada the deciding result?
Could be a pretty big deal if Nevada comes in within the next 48‐72! You would logically have to declare a Biden victory before Arizona is done.
Anyway, to circle back to the initial quote, this is definitely being talked about openly at other networks expressing genuine confusion as to the level of certainty.
