Arnon Mishkin 2020 Presidential Election

Mishkin kept his job as the chairman of the Fox News Decision Desk for the 2020 presidential election, which is in charge of informing Fox News viewers of the election results. The Fox News Decision Desk and Mishkin drew some attention in the run-up to the election as the main American network catering to a Republican Party-supporting audience. A month before the election, the New York Times ran an article about Mishkin titled “Trump is attempting to delegitimize the election. This Nerd Might Be Able to Stop Him.” Mishkin and Dana Blanton were the leading voices on Fox News in the run-up to the election, doubting Trump’s chances of re-election in his race against Joe Biden. Along with the Associated Press, the two were instrumental in developing the new VoteCast alternative to exit polls. Other pollsters, such as HuffPost’s Ariel Edwards-Levy, have backed Mishkin’s concept.

Mishkin’s team called Arizona for Biden before any other major news outlet on election night in November 2020. Bret Baier, a Fox election host, questioned the call on television and pressed Mishkin to proclaim that he was 100 percent confident, to which Mishkin responded affirmatively and said that he had been pondering making the announcement for 30 minutes.

The call was disputed by President Trump, who was described as “furious” by news outlets and specifically mentioned Fox News and Arizona in his speech to the nation the next morning, in which he refused to concede a number of states and the election in general, dismissing “the gentleman who called it.” Mishkin was correct in his prediction, though Biden’s victory margin in Arizona was razor-thin (10,457 votes).
