PA just jumped from 64% in to 84% in and Trump's lead has shrunk by about 100,000 votes. However, the lead is still 393,000 votes. So Biden needs to narrow the gap more quickly if he's going to make that one the type of nail biter we see in MI, NC, GA and WI.
I also think Michigan is pretty close to being called for Biden.
CNN has it at est. 82%. Based on votes in that would be roughly 1'044'000 ballots still to count. 389K deficit... blah blah blah.. carry the 1... yadda yadda yadda... Biden would need 69% of remaining ballots to win.
What's the differential count on mail in ballots for it so far?
Georgia: Trump currently leads here by 79,509 votes, and the secretary of state said during an 11:30 a.m. press conference that there were still 200,000 mail-in votes and 50,000 early votes to count, mostly in Democratic-leaning counties like Fulton and DeKalb. Fulton is hoping to finish all its counting by 9 p.m. tonight.
Michigan: Biden currently leads here by just 37,350 votes, but it will be difficult for Trump to close that gap because most of the uncounted ballots are in very blue Wayne County (Detroit). At 2 p.m. Eastern, Wayne said it had only 16,000 ballots left to count, which it plans to complete by 6 p.m.
These are the big ones. If these result in Biden wins, the election gets called tonight. That would obviously be, yknow, ideal.

I find it reprehensible that we would even think about restricting voting rights based on age.
I don’t agree with taking away people’s voting rights because of their age, but it’s important to point out that we already restrict voting rights based on age. A 17 year old high school grad who works full time and pays taxes still can’t vote.

We wouldn’t have to worry about the elderly and their stupid voting patterns if we’d simply embrace the Logan’s Run plan I’ve been espousing for ages. Easy and simple.

Has it been called by anyone yet? Or did I miss it?

No one has called Michigan. I just think it'll probably happen this evening.

Well, yeah. If the election is called, things are pretty much over. He needs to implement his "stop the vote" strategy before it gets to that point.
Now, I'm sure he'll still try to get things overturned, as he's said he'll do in Wisconsin, but that becomes much more difficult when you've got a declared victory and a declared margin. It's extremely unlikely that Wisconsin gets overturned on a recount, for example.
