You'll never guess what happened last night! Joe Biden was declared the winner in Arizona again and received their 11 electoral votes (just like he did last week when Fox News declared him the winner, but whatever).
Breaking News: Joe Biden won Arizona, holding a narrow lead there after over a week of counting. The state hadn’t voted for a Democrat for president since 1996. https://t.co/2nfcG8jFnU

Biden is now up to 50.8% of the popular vote, topping Reagan’s 50.7% in 1980. This is the highest percentage for a challenger since FDR in 1932 pic.twitter.com/pRDpuxaSwZ

With Biden's win Arizona, he's now flipped four states Trump won in 2016.
According to CNN's numbers, of the two states remaining, Biden is leading Trump by 14,149 votes (or 0.3%) in Georgia while Trump is leading Biden by 71,399 votes (or 1.3%) in North Carolina. pic.twitter.com/D64jWeACnr— Nathan McDermott (@natemcdermott) November 13, 2020
- What’s especially striking is the scope of Biden’s win as a challenger to a sitting president. Already surpassed Reagan’s 1980 % in the race with Carter, Biden’s gets a higher % of the vote than any rival to an incumbent since FDR upended Hoover in 1932. https://t.co/9J4P84u9E9

Here's the KFile supercut we just aired of Trump campaign and White House officials attacking Democrats as "sore losers" "cry babies," trying "delegitimize" Trump through "unsubstantiated" recounts that are "based on no evidence" in 2016. pic.twitter.com/eZUhHalIfZ

THREAD: With the clear projection of AZ for Biden last night, it's time for the media—and nation's leaders—to dramatically change their tone about Trump's refusal to accept Biden as the president-elect. This isn't him being in denial anymore; he's hoping to overturn an election.
