The projection comes after the Fox News Decision Desk called the Arizona race in Biden’s favor, sparking backlash from President Donald Trump’s team.
Trump campaign official Jason Miller responded to Fox News projection by noting that it is “WAY to soon” to call Arizona, faulting the network for failing to account for remaining votes.
WAY too soon to be calling Arizona…way too soon. We believe over 2/3 of those outstanding Election Day voters are going to be for Trump. Can’t believe Fox was so anxious to pull the trigger here after taking so long to call Florida. Wow.
