What Fox News’ Decision Desk Chief Expects for the 2024 Election

The man who may call the winner of the 2024 presidential election is ready to make a prediction for at least when the news will come.

“The over/under is Saturday,” said Arnon Mishkin, the head of Fox News’ decision desk. “Which was when the call was made last time.”

In an interview with POLITICO Magazine at the News Corp. building in Midtown Manhattan, Mishkin said that he plans on calling the election as soon as he can, but that a protracted vote count means it may take a few days.

Regardless though, he said he feels no pressure from executives at the conservative-leaning network to “make our audience happy.”

The 69-year-old Mishkin is a consultant and not actually a Fox employee, but he’s been helming the network’s decision desk for presidential elections since 2008 and currently leads a team of nine analysts.
