CNN says that Trump has a 7.5 point lead in Wisconsin and a 4.7-point lead in Michigan. These are two states that have been solid blue all season long. These are two Rust Belt states that have suffered as manufacturing jobs have evaporated. Trump has made both of these states part of his plan. In Michigan 29 percent of precincts have reported. In Wisconsin, 39 percent have reported.

The mood at the Clinton event at the Javits Center in NYC is low energy right now compared to earlier in the night. The campaign is working to keep the momentum going, including replaying its popular celebrity rendition of 'Fight Song' which debuted at the DNC. However, supporters were seen sitting down on the floor and the cheers have lulled.
"I wish it was a landslide," said Eileen Naples of Brooklyn. "But it's probably more projected drama than actual drama."
"It's tighter than expected," said Phil Recht, a lawyer from Los Angelos. "I'm confident - but it's going to be a long night." -
