This is absolutely riveting. I thought I'd be going to bed at 2am, but that's not happening is it.

Maybe 3am...or 4.

Yeah, still feeling fresh and enthused, very much still feels like we are only at the beginning even though it's been a couple of hours.  I'd been planning to get a bit of kip and come back to it later in the night, but I can't see that happening any time soon, I'll probably hang in there til I'm ready to collapse.

Cracked me up. Biden and his menu of possibilities!

Aren't you supposed to still be asleep too? 

Yeah that didn't really go according to plan. I've only had 1 hours sleep 😂

Haha! I don't think anyone stuck to their plan.

I'm going to crash for a bit soon I think and come back to it. Scared I'll miss something!

'Devastating'? Did Democrats really think they'd be comfortable in Florida?

BREAKING: The Fox News Decision Desk can now project that Democrats will retain control of the House of Representatives and expand their majority by at least five seats. This is a major boost for Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who has pledged to roll back much of Trump’s first-term agenda if he loses reelection.

I think I went too bed too early!

Seems like it's still on course for Biden?

[rithpotter]

Trump now favourite with bookies. Is that significant at all?

Looking good for him so far, particularly with the state of play in Ohio.

Not really. Probably a surge of bets with Florida looking likely to stay red.

[Punksnotdead]

Trump is now favourite on skybet. I'm not gonna lie, I'm worried!

[Reckoner]

Trump is behind in NC and Ohio. Good win in Florida, but i wouldn't be listening to the bookies yet

[Ozanne]

Florida was never essential for Biden, it was for Trump.

[Slugworth]

calling it now. Trump wins

[jparx]

I’m not sure what data would be driving bets to Trump. I’d guess it’s down to Florida, but there’s not much else yet that’s screaming a Trump victory.

Odds going crazy on betfair, Trump closing in?!

It was essential so that I could go to bed early 😉

[FloorFiller]

Morning! 

Goddamnit Florida!

Also it was inevitable, but fuck Mitch McConnell.

[Gingerfish79]

I think it’s the ‘on the day’ votes closing the gap in Ohio and NC that are driving the betting markets.

Best of luck using Florida as a benchmark for that, every election this century it has gone down to a few thousand votes and repeated recounts over a period of days at least.

Trump's performance in Florida looks like it's due to the Cuban vote, which won't be available in other parts of the country.

Wow just woke up to find the bookies think Trump has done it
