I bet Fox just holds back on calling NV for Biden (no need if something radical happens and it can be called for Trump) until both NV and either AZ is certain (and can either also be called for Biden or flipped for Trump without going in to an indeterminant state) or one of GA or PA (for Biden) is clear and can be safely called as well.

This is very likely what is occurring.

NV is trending farther apart and AZ is trending closer. NV is probably OK to call.

I also think other orgs are probably holding back on calling NV because AP and Fox have called AZ, and there is a psychological effe t of having major orgs having called 270 EVs when overlayed, even if no one org has called 270.

Twitter’s rule-of-two on election results may play a role here, too.
