Has Trump actually won Kentucky? Sky added it to their score tally but they keep saying it's projected?

Not sure, don't know what Sky News are talking about, from what I'm seeing it's not projected, it's done. May have to go back to Kaff's post earlier.

There's always a competition especially between America stations to be the first to project the winner
Its a judgement call they make when enough votes are counted and based on past results and type of votes still to count

I remember in 2016 at least one station jumped too early with a significant state and got one it wrong

Only 16% of exit polls say covid-19 swayed their vote. :o

Trump actually doing much better than expected in early results! His price has come right in to 2.22.

Could the polls have gotten it all wrong again and we actually have an even contest?

Texas still 1.2 to stay red. Must be something in the regional votes counted so far.
