In this podcast episode recorded on Election Day, Ben Pershing, the politics editor at The Wall Street Journal, discusses the anticipated election results. He points out how closely contested the presidential race is, particularly in seven key battleground states, along with tight races for both the House and Senate. Pershing stresses the significance of monitoring specific counties in these states, as they can provide early insights into voting trends influenced by demographics. He warns against jumping to conclusions based on initial results, predicting that we may face a long wait for final outcomes, much like in the 2020 election. He encourages listeners to remain patient and skeptical of any early victory claims.
