I guess the Fox News Decision Desk is feeling vindicated now that the other newsers have finally called Arizona for Biden:

Trump had come within a little over 11,000 votes of Biden’s lead, but I guess he wasn’t winning a large enough percentage of the remaining votes to take the state.
In terms of the possibility of a recount, I don’t think it’s possible. Arizona only does automatic recounts and doesn’t allow for recounts to be requested. Further, in order for an automatic recount to occur, the race has to be a lot closer than it is now.
So any recourse Trump might have in Arizona will be within the courts.
