What is the exact meaning of "call" resounding in the US media [duplicate]
After the election, I hear, to me, new usages of 'call'.
AP called Arizona for Biden
The results are too close to call.
In first look, I rendered it as 'announce' something. But I see this is tainted with a sense of prediction. What is the exact meaning of this 'call' here?
From Merriam-Webster
11: to say or guess what the result will be
The election is too close to call.
So it means that the AP predicted that Biden will win Arizona's vote for President.
