Man, there was A LOT of $$ to be made on Biden last night. I'm surprised because this type of swing was expected. Maybe the Florida margin spooked everyone.
Not just that. On top of Trump's great performance in Florida, the NYT needle was showing Trump comfortably ahead in GA. Trump carried Iowa and Ohio with ease, and with margins close to his 2016 benchmarks. He also carried Texas far more comfortably than most pundits and pollsters predicted. GOP senators overperformed. GOP House candidates won the tossup races. Even with everyone expecting Trump to open a lead in MI/WI/PA, his 700k++ lead in PA seemed spooky.
Only late into the night did the good news for Biden come in: he has a huge lead from the mail ballots in Arizona, Trump will have a really tough time closing this gap with election day votes. Wait a minute, turnout in metro Atlanta is really high and the margins for Biden are there; he could still eke this state out in the end. Wait a minute, turnout in Detroit and Philly is really good too. Etc.
