tl;dr is that many of the remaining votes are in parts of the state that are more liberal than the parts of the state that have already been counted. If Biden wins a county that is 50/50 D/R, then they're assuming that he will also win a county that is 60/40 D/R (oversimplifying a bit because turnout can very from county to county and mail-in ballots might have different demographics than in person voters). However it was a bit controversial that Fox called AZ as early as they did, I don't think any of the other TV channels have followed suit

I think this is technically correct in that the other TV channels didn't; AP, however, also called AZ.
