The 9 p.m. closings deliver the second historic flip.
Minnesota goes lean Republican for Vance by 1.2 percent—“the first Republican to win the state since Richard Nixon in 1972, 54 years ago.”
Wisconsin and Michigan both lean Republican by 2-4 points each.
Arizona leans Republican by 4 percent. Nevada later locks in as lean Republican by 3-4 points.
Texas is likely Republican, Iowa likely Republican by 12 points, while Newsom holds New York (likely by 12.4 percent), Colorado (likely by 8 points), and New Mexico (lean by 4.9 percent).
Later hours confirm the map: California, Washington, Oregon, and Hawaii go to Newsom (California by roughly 30 points), while Alaska finishes likely Republican for Vance by 13 percent.
“And so this is ChatGPT’s 2028 election prediction,” the host concludes.
“It has Vice President JD Vance defeating California Governor Gavin Newsom, flipping Minnesota and New Hampshire, winning 326 electoral votes. Newsom taking just 212. This would make Newsom’s performance the worst for any Democrat since Michael Dukakis in 1988,” the host said.
