The man who heads Fox News’ election Decision Desk is prepared to make one prediction about the Nov. 5 presidential election between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris: the final results won’t be in until Nov. 9 – the Saturday after the Tuesday vote.
“The over/under is Saturday,” said Arnon Mishkin in an interview with Politico. “Which was when the call was made last time.” Mishkin is best remembered by some as being the network election analyst who called Arizona for Biden in 2020 well in advance of anyone else – infuriating Fox’s largely conservative, pro-Trump audience and even some of the other pundits surrounding Mishkin that night. Fox fired a number of election pundits over that call.
He also took on the former deputy chief of staff to President George W. Bush, Karl Rove, who said in 2016 that Barack Obama could not have won in Ohio. But despite past controversies, he maintains he gets no direction from the management to “make our audience happy.”
