The rightwing channel was the first to call
Arizona for Biden – and Trump and his supporters have been furious ever since
It was about 11.20pm on
election night when
Fox News made the call. The
Democratic candidate had clinched a key swing state, a win that could set them on a path to be president of the
United States.
In the Fox News studio, Karl Rove, conservative panelist and longtime
Republican strategist, was apoplectic. Around the country, Republican supporters were bereft. Fox News launched an immediate inquisition into its own decision, but the network stood by the call.
