US presidential elections are a peculiar beast. If you want to track who's winning the race for the White House in real time, you have to know when results from key states come in.
It's likely US presidential election results will start getting interesting about midday AEDT on Wednesday.
Keep in mind, unless something wildly unexpected happens, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump both have about 220 electoral college votes safely tucked away. When it hits 11am in Sydney, things will get vaguely interesting. That's 10am in Brisbane, 10:30am in Adelaide, 9:30am in Darwin and 8am in Perth. For Brisbane that means the binge-watch starts at 11am, 11:30am for Adelaide, 10:30am for Darwin, 9am for Perth.
Most of Michigan closes at this point, and things will initially look quite good for Donald Trump. But that probably won't last long. In 2020, he waited too long to make his erroneous claim of victory — the "Blue Shift" of Democratic votes in large cities had already begun when he took to the podium at 2:45am, Washington time. He won't want to make the same mistake again.It's 2pm in Sydney, 1pm in Brisbane, 1:30pm in Adelaide, 12:30pm in Darwin and 11am in Perth.
