Quick reminder that this is the gold standard for election calls. The AP has a more than 99% success rate over its history.

If you need to know what's going on, this is the only sane source. PBS is relying on AP calls, but of course with a bit of a delay.

I'm in Canada and see Trump bumper stickers from time to time. The province I live in is trying to do a not so stealthy push to privatized health care. Things are likely going to get worse

Too bad this won't save you from the bastards that call themselves the SVP. Those are among the extremist parties who might feel emboldened/inspired by Trump and Project 2025.
