The pattern that established itself early in this primary system continued tonight: Fox News was quickest out of the gate to make a projection, followed by MSNBC, with CNN playing it very cautiously.

Fox declared Hillary Clinton the winner of the Pennsylvania primary roughly 45 minutes after the polls closed at 8 p.m. EDT.

MSNBC followed a few minutes later.

CNN, at 8:54, reiterated that it was holding fire.

Assuming Fox and MSNBC are correct, the margin-watch now begins.
