Fox News Media President Jay Wallace this week warned news networks against prematurely declaring the winner of the presidential election on the night of Nov. 3.

Speaking to Reuters in an interview published Monday, Wallace recalled the night of the election two decades ago, which saw multiple major news networks inaccurately call the winner in the crucial state of Florida, before subsequently withdrawing their projections.
