This afternoon, the Trump campaign continued attacking Fox News Decision Desk director Arnon Mishkin for calling Arizona for Joe Biden on Election Night, even though two days later the winner of that state is still unclear. Biden only needs to win Arizona and Nevada to be elected president. In an email today to The Washington Post, Murdoch wrote that Trump didn't contact him directly to change the call. “If he had, I would not have interfered or changed our call,” Murdoch wrote. In a statement this afternoon, the Trump campaign said of Mishkin: “Arnon Mishkin, the director of Fox News’ election decision desk, prematurely called Arizona for Joe Biden before hundreds of thousands of ballots had been counted. Even left-leaning election analysts like Nate Silver have criticized the decision, but Mishkin is standing by his terrible decision despite and refusing to retract his unjustified call.”
