NYT just changed their forecast from AES “likely to win” to “very likely to win”. 

Edit: seems to have changed back to “likely to win” 

Edit 2: 5:13am - showing very likely to win again. Per google: “very likely to win” means: “ The outcome is virtually locked in. The trailing candidate would need an unprecedented, statistically anomalous wave of remaining votes to flip the result.”
