President Donald Trump’s campaign on Nov. 5 called out Fox News for what it said was a premature call that Democratic nominee Joe Biden had definitely won the swing state of Arizona. The campaign called the director of the network’s decision desk, Arnon Mishkin, a “Clinton-voting, Biden-donating Democrat.”
Mishkin, a management consultant who runs the Fox News Channel’s decision desk, “prematurely called Arizona for Joe Biden before hundreds of thousands of ballots had been counted,” the Trump campaign said in a news release. “Even left-leaning election analysts like (538’s) Nate Silver have criticized the decision, but Mishkin is standing by his terrible decision despite and refusing to retract his unjustified call.”
