To say that the 2020 presidential election between the incumbent President Doanld Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden has been a tight race would be the understatement of the century. I’ll be the first to admit, it simply hasn’t been the landslide win we were hoping for — Though, frankly, it’s about what we expected, considering what a dumpster fire this entire year has been. However, the votes show that our guy Joe Biden truly is likely to take this thing home once it’s all said and done. And, in the end, a win is a win. No matter how close.
As I’m sure you’re well aware, a lot of our faith has hinged on the state of Arizona, a state that Trump secured in 2016, where Biden still holds a relatively comfortable lead over the President.
As is customary, pretty much every reputable news network has been nothing but constant coverage of the presidential election since last night, and each network is making their own predictions and calling certain states in favor of one candidate or the other as the votes come in.
So far CNN, a heavily-hated network by the Trump team, has yet to officially call the state of Arizona, despite Biden’s strong lead. However, Trump’s own beloved, Conservative Fox News Network is a different story. Late last night, Fox actually called Arizona in favor of Joe Biden.

Trump, unsurprisingly, threw a fit pretty much immediately, taking to his Twitter to demand that the network detract the call — though, they ultimately stood by their decision and still do, saying, “I’m sorry, the president is not going to be able to take over and win enough votes to eliminate the seven-point lead the former vice president has,” shortly after 12:30 am.
Reports quickly flooded in regarding Trump’s anger with the call:
Trump advisers say campaign is furious with Fox for its Arizona call for Biden, an indication of how much was riding on the state. “Words cannot describe the anger,” the adviser said.

And in true Trump fashion, according to CNN’s Jim Acosta, Trump evidently woke up just as angry with the network’s decision:
Trump campaign is still furious at Fox for calling AZ. Officials making that clear on conf call this morning.

It’s clear that Trump’s desperation is raging at this point, and as we’ve come to learn with this guy, with desperation come anger. However, with the way things are looking now, there’s simply no path to victory for Donald Trump. And I believe he knows that.
