But then they'd risk losing having Trump as their guest of honour. So maybe not.

I think AP will make the call.
I’m sure someone else has posted this, but it’s so bizarre that it’s a media decision. I kind of understand why, but at the same time why should they get final say?

I also understand that they’re gun shy after Florida in 2000, but this is pointless. They call states immediately after they close (like California, Washington and Oregon), and nearly no votes are counted. We all know what’s going on in Pennsylvania though; this is just for drama and ratings at this stage.
