PA Gov. Tom Wolf tells residents it may take ‘a few days’ to count their votes

Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf is telling voters in his state it may take a few days to accurately count the votes for the presidential election in a new ad scheduled to air from Election Day through the end of the week.

“These are unprecedented times. Because of the coronavirus, there were millions of votes cast by mail so it may take longer than usual to count every vote,” he says in the ad, funded by a voter advocacy group, The Voter Project. “Folks in our election offices – your neighbors, family and friends are working hard ensuring every single vote is counted.”

Pennsylvania state law prohibits the counting of ballots before Election Day. Officials in Pennsylvania say they hope to have all votes counted by November 6, but a recent Supreme Court case requiring ballots received after Election Day to be segregated has raised concerns that the results may take longer.

President Trump, however, is demanding a result on election night. “It would be very, very proper and very nice if a winner were declared on November 3rd, instead of counting ballots for two weeks, which is totally inappropriate, and I don’t believe that that’s by our laws,” Trump said last week.

‘The Election should end on November 3rd., not weeks later!’ he tweeted Friday.

Uh oh. Someone let President Joe Biden speak by himself again and damage control immediately ensued. President Joe Biden’s “60 Minutes” interview which aired on CBS Sunday was 60 minutes of pure torture for viewers and 60 minutes of pure angst for the White House; everyone but the president himself.

60 Minutes’ official Twitter account publicly called out the President’s answers with an embarrassing statement that his own administration was in disagreement with him:

“President Biden tells 60 Minutes that U.S. men and women would defend Taiwan in the vent of a Chinese invasion. However, after our interview, a White House official told us that U.S. policy on Taiwan has not changed.”

NEW: Asked on @60Minutes if US would defend Taiwan if it came under attack, Biden — again — says yes.

PELLEY: "To be clear, sir, U.S. forces, U.S. men and women, would defend Taiwan in the event of a Chinese invasion?"

BIDEN: "Yes."

(WH again says US policy hasn't changed.)

CBS’ Scott Pelley also discussed inflation; an issue drastically affecting the welfare and wellbeing of families. Biden deflected with zero sympathy:

60 Min: "What can you do better to lower inflation?"

Biden: "inflation rate month to month was just up an inch."

60 Min:"You're not arguing 8.3% is good news?"

Biden: "You're acting like all of a sudden 'my God it went to 8.2%'"

60 Min: "It's the highest rate in 40 years." pic.twitter.com/DEwugGct4d

As for President Biden’s son Joe, he is sticking with the narrative that Hunter is the “smartest” person he knows and that “there’s not a single thing that I’ve observed at all that would affect me or the United States relative to my son Hunter.”

Biden also said that while the “proof of the pudding is in the eating” in response to being asked if he is fit to be President, Biden did not commit to saying whether or not he will run for re-election. His “intention” is to run again, “but that’s just intention” he said. “Is it a firm decision that I run again? That remains to be seen.”

60 Min: "Are you committed to running again?"

Biden: "My intention, as I said to begin with, is that I would run again. But it’s just an intention. But is it a firm decision that I run again? That remains to be seen,” pic.twitter.com/3R3W3I8e9Z
