13. And two calls right as the hour turns. We can call North Dakota for President Trump and Maine’s two at large electoral votes for Senator Warren. Small gains, but important in this election.
2:18 AM: And we can now call Maine’s 2nd district for Senator Warren, making it all of maine that she has won.
2:23 AM: And we can now call Utah for Mark Zuckerberg. He might not be winning the presidency tonight, but his win here marks the first time a third party has won a state since 1968.
2:30 AM: And we can now call Texas for President Trump. A big gain for him.
2:39 AM: We can now call New Mexico for Senator Warren. No surprise there.
2:45 AM: And South Dakota stays with President Trump. Zuckerberg has put up a good fight across the Mountain West, but Trump seems likely to win every state there.
2:49 AM: And we can now call Nebraska’s 1st district for Trump. He seems likely to carry the 2nd too.
2:53 AM: And we can now call Wisconsin for Senator Warren. Our 3rd state flip of the night, and a big one. If Warren can keep California in her column, she seems poised to win the night. She now leads with 199 electoral votes to Trump’s 158, with Zuckerberg having 6 and 175 still being uncalled. Zuckerberg has no path to victory left, but he can still throw the election to the incoming democratic congress (62D-38R in the senate, and 255D-167R-2O), where he hopes that he will prove a compromise candidate. Can he do? It seems tonight will all come down to California.

Sorry if I missed it, but who is Warren's running mate?

My guess is Zucky gets Pres and the Dem running-mate gets VP

Sherrod Brown.

14. And we are getting two more calls. Nebraska’s 2nd and Kansas will both stay with President Trump, completing his sweep of the interior plains.
3:11 AM: And we can call Colorado for Senator Warren now. Good news for her in her struggle to fend off Zuckerberg in the west. Zuckerberg might not win a lot of states tonight, but the national popular vote figures are looking good for him. He’s less than a point behind trump, making it likely that he will get the best third party performance in the popular vote ever.
3:17 AM: And we can call Minnesota too for Senator Warren. Unexpectedly close tonight, but her victory here makes it the entire midwest. However, it seems we’ll be waiting a while longer for California to be called.
3:18 AM: And our third swing state call for Senator Warren in less than ten minutes. We can call Nevada for her. Trump was leading there for much of the night, but Warren keeps it in her camp. Things are looking increasingly good for the Senator.
3:21 AM: And Zuckerberg wins his second state. Arizona goes for the independent candidate, the first time the state has ever done so.
3:30 AM: And we can now call North Carolina for Trump, but with a caveat. He appears to have won after 8 hours of counting, but the result is so close we believe that there will be a mandatory recount.
3:35 AM: And Zuckerberg carries Hawaii, with what seems like 47% of the vote, owing to overwhelming support from the asian community.
3:50 AM: And we can now call Montana for President Trump. A lot of calls in quick succession now.
3:51 AM: Wow, this is a big one. We can now call Pennsylvania for Senator Warren. This makes it so that’s even if Trump wins every state up for contention, he’ll still need to also carry North Carolina in the recount. A re-election seems increasingly unlikely. Meanwhile, Senator Warren is now only 26 electoral votes away from the presidency. With all the states being called for her, she now has a path to victory even without California.

15. And at 4 AM, still no winner. For those of you still up on the east coast, it might be advisable to go to bed. This election seems like it will last for a while longer.
4:09 AM: And we can now call the swing state of Iowa for Senator Warren. She seems to putting the Obama coalition back together.
4:20 AM: This is very nearly a historic call. We can call New Hampshire for Senator Warren, despite a close race from both President Trump and Mark Zuckerberg, putting her at 254 electoral votes. A few states on the west coast will determine whether Warren wins or the election is thrown to the house.
4:30 AM: A late, but mostly expected call. President Trump carries Idaho, despite a close race from Mark Zuckerberg there.
4:45 AM: And we can call Alaska for Mark Zuckerberg. He was leading there in pre-election polls, but the only one that really matters is the poll on election night. And there are only three states left counting, the pacific coast ones. Senator Warren needs to win at least one of them, otherwise no matter what she’ll fall just short.

16. And we’ve just received word from our decision desk that they’ve just called California. This is a historic moment.

17. We can now call California for Senator Warren, putting her at 309 electoral votes. Senator Warren is now President-Elect Warren, the first female president of the united states. We’re hearing that she’ll be giving an Victory speech at 6:30.
5:19 AM: And we can also call Oregon for President-Elect Warren. Washington is now the only state left.

18. 6:23 AM And we can call Washington for Mark Zuckerberg, though we believe it will go to a recount.



Senator Warren’s historic victory speech will begin shortly, although President Trump has angrily refused to concede and has indeed launched a furious tweet storm, stating “I won states like IA and OH big lst time and now the lying fake news media are calling them for Pocohantas. there will be a major 1/2.”
“2/2 invesnitagation into voter fraud which is a major proble despite what the lying fake news media says. MAGA!”
