- The numbers in Miami-Dade are not good for Biden. But he's up by 10 points in Duvaaaaaal (Jacksonville) with an estimated 75% of the vote counted. In 2016, Trump won it narrowly.
- Fun fact: By my count, Joe Biden flipped four Kent Counties Trump won in 2016. Delaware, Maryland, Michigan, and Rhode Island.
- Still early in PA, but FWIW, in Lackawanna Co. (Scranton, Biden's ancestral home), Biden is leading Trump by 9. Clinton beat Trump by 3.5 points in 2016. Also, with most votes counted, Biden's raw votes in the county increased from 51,000 to 61,000.
- My latest @PolitiFact: A video shows Obama saying surrender to 'an all-powerful sovereign.' It's fake. Pants on Fire! ow.ly/ymgvY
- Trump's boast about job gains refer to month-over-month employment increases during the pandemic. While those increases were the highest in history, they are still well short of where employment stood prior to the pandemic.

- My latest @PolitiFact: Refereeing Pete Buttigieg, Elizabeth Warren on public support for Medicare for All. Buttigieg is correct that an opt-in for Medicare is more popular than requiring people to shift from private coverage to Medicare. bit.ly/2VJk2kQ
- In Idaho AG race, former Rep. Raul Labrador (R) is only ahead 51%-49% with 22% counted. Long way to go. A number of key establishment Republicans endorsed Democrat Tom Arkoosh in this race.
