An unexpected swing state has emerged in the race for the White House.
Nobody saw this coming.
But just four hours after the polls closed and Donald Trump could be on the verge of an Electoral College landslide!
Virginia surprises prognosticators

And one outlet that called Virginia early for Harris was forced to take it off the board.
Decision Desk just withdrew their call of Virginia for Harris.
This is going into wipeout territory.

Time will tell, but Americans may either go to sleep or wake up knowing who their next President is.
And that’s a great feeling.
