Is it true that your news is not really allowed to report on local news? I might be crazy but I remember reading that.

No, every channel has a news report section (or a dedicated 24/7 news channel like Sky) and none of them avoid reporting local affairs.
They spin it, but they never ignore it.
 
I guarantee Nevada is freelo +6 EVs. After that all that's needed is PA, or ANY combination of AZ/MI/MN/WI. It's fucking over.

Edit: Forgot about Alaska. with that +3, all that's needed is PA or MI, or any combo of AZ/MI/WI.

It really is wild how hard some of these counties flipped this election. My early thoughts are that this has very little to do with the personal popularity of Trump or Harris, and primarily has been about the strength of the US economy and the working and middle class Americans. Trump has done an exceptional job at making himself the candidate of economic growth, and the Republican party in general has done some serious overhauls in the last 20 years to make themselves the party of the working man, mainly because the Democrats have abandoned that voter bloc to cater to the urban elite. My thoughts are corroborated by exit polling conducted by the notoriously hard right wing source: NBC.

Regardless of the bullshit spewed by talking heads, the average American is concerned about the economy, and is chafing under inflation and stagnant wages, and they have overwhelmingly decided to vote for the candidate they thought would pull them out of it.

My final thoughts are this: This election should be sounding alarm bells in every DNC office in the country. Not only have Republicans cut the Democrat lead in Hispanic voters to within the margin of error, but the Democrats have lost the Union vote. I cannot overstate how big of a deal that it's.

Union voters are a notoriously deep blue voter bloc, and the Democrats barely managed to escape the margin of error on exit polls. Major US unions, including the Teamsters and American Federation of Government Employees, broke a half century of precedent by choosing to not endorse a candidate. Meanwhile, Republican candidates in Rust Belt states have managed to court these voters by emphasizing policies to encourage the return of domestic manufacturing.
