DIFFERENCE AND GRENELL COMES OUT
THERE --
>> JACOB, I’M SORRY, I’VE GOT TO
INTERRUPT YOU HERE.
STEVE KORNACKI HAS THE RESULTS
FROM PENNSYLVANIA, STEVE,
REFRESHING, RECORDING RIGHT NOW,
WHAT DO YOU HAVE?
>> THESE ARE COMING DIRECTLY
FROM THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA’S
WEBSITE, THEY ARE NOT QUITE IN
OUR SYSTEM YET, SO I AM GOING TO
TELL YOU WHAT WE HAVE HERE.
THE NEW TOTAL, LET ME CALL UP
PHILADELPHIA, AND THIS IS THE
LATEST REPORT, YOU SEE THESE ARE
THE NUMBERS THAT ARE IN OUR SYSTEM, THE NEW NUMBERS, THE NEW
SYSTEM, THE NEW NUMBERS, THE NEW
CURRENT TALLY IS JOE BIDEN
553,953 VOTES, OKAY.
>> YEP.
>> DONALD TRUMP 125,513 VOTES.
SO THAT IS A DIFFERENCE OF
28,440.
OKAY?
HANG ON.
I’M DOING -- THAT’S THE FIRST FI
STEP.
LET ME CALM DOWN HERE BECAUSE
WE’VE GOT ONE IMPORTANT STEP.
WHAT WE NEED TO DO HERE IS
SUBTRACT -- OH, IT’S BEEN
UPDATED.
IT’S IN OUR SYSTEM.
SO GAINED ABOUT 21,000 VOTES.
AND WHAT THAT DID IT HAS PUT JOE
BIDEN INTO THE LEAD.
JOE BIDEN NOW LEADS IN
PENNSYLVANIA, STATEWIDE, BY
5,587 VOTES.
SO YOU SEE IN THAT LAST UPDATE
THAT WE JUST GOT IN A FEW
MINUTES AGO THERE, JOE BIDEN
PICKED UP ABOUT 23,000, 24,000
VOTES.
I GET THE FACT NUMBER IN A
SECOND.
BUT HOW DID HE GET THAT?
THESE ARE ABSENTEE BALLOTS, MAIL
BALLOTS.
THEY’VE BEEN COUNTING THEM FOR A
COUPLE OF DAYS IN PHILADELPHIA.
THERE’S ABOUT 27,000, 28,000
VOTES THEY JUST REPORTED OUT.
BIDEN IS WINNING THE
OVERWHELMING SHARE OF THEM, AS
HE HAS BEEN IN PHILADELPHIA, AS
HE HAS BEEN AROUND PENNSYLVANIA.
AND SO THIS HAS NOW BEEN ENOUGH
TO VAULT HIM PAST DONALD TRUMP
AND INTO THE LEAD STATEWIDE.
I SHOULD POINT OUT, EVEN WITH
THIS UPDATE, BIDEN NOW HAS A
NARROW LEAD IN PENNSYLVANIA.
THERE ARE STILL -- THAT IS
PROBABLY ABOUT HALF OF THE
REMAINING VOTE IN PHILADELPHIA
THAT WE JUST GOT.
MEANING THERE IS MORE.
THERE IS ANOTHER BATCH THE SAME
SIZE OF WHAT YOU JUST SAW, IN
PHILADELPHIA YET TO COME.
THERE IS VOTE.
THERE ARE 35,000 VOTES YET TO
COME FROM ALLEGHENY COUNTY, FROM
PITTSBURGH.
THERE ARE 10,000 MORE VOTES YET
TO COME FROM THE ALLENTOWN AREA,
LEHIGH COUNTY.
10,000 MORE TO COME FROM BUCKS
COUNTY.
ALL OF THESE ARE EXPECTED TO GO
TO JOE BIDEN BY A VERY HEAVY
MARGIN BECAUSE ALL OF THE
UPDATES FROM ALL OF THE PLACES
I’VE JUST MENTIONED SO FAR AND
EVERY OTHER COUNTY IN
PENNSYLVANIA HAVE GONE HEAVILY
FOR JOE BIDEN SO FAR.
WE STARTED SAYING THIS
YESTERDAY.
WE STARTED TELLING YOU THE TREND
WE WERE SEEING IN PENNSYLVANIA
WAS THAT EVERY UPDATE FROM
ABSENTEE BALLOTS WAS PUTTING JOE
BIDEN AHEAD.
HE WAS WINNING 75% OF THEM.
THE QUESTION WE WANTED TO SEE
WAS, COULD HE GET IN FRONT?
COULD HE CONTINUE THAT TREND?
GET IN FRONT OF DONALD TRUMP
STATEWIDE IN THAT TALLY OR WOULD
THE TREND CHANGE AT ALL.
THE TREND HAS NOT CHANGED AT
ALL.
THE TREND HAS REMAINED CONSTANT.
WITH EVERY UPDATE, JOE BIDEN HAS
BEEN GETTING MORE AND MORE OF AN
ADVANTAGE IN THAT STATEWIDE
TALLY.
AND NOW HE LEADS IT.
NOW THERE ARE STILL -- STILL AN
ESTIMATED 130,000 OR SO VOTES
YET TO BE REPORTED STATEWIDE.
AGAIN, JOE BIDEN IS LEADING IN
THAT TALLY.
THE BALLOTS BEING COUNTED, THAT
130,000, THE ABSENTEE MAIL
BALLOTS, JOE BIDEN HAS BEEN
WINNING 75% OF THOSE.
THAT REMAINS THE CASE.
THIS IS VERY, VERY MUCH WHAT WE
HAVE BEEN EXPECTING.
SO AGAIN, JOE BIDEN NOW HAS THE
LEAD STATEWIDE IN PENNSYLVANIA.
AND ON THE CURRENT TRAJECTORY,
WHICH HASN’T CHANGED THAT LEAD
IS NOW SET TO EXPAND.
AND POTENTIALLY TO EXPAND
SIGNIFICANTLY.
THIS WAS ONCE A 600,000-PLUS
VOTE ADVANTAGE FOR DONALD TRUMP
A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO.
THE REASON A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO,
MAINLY THE ONLY THING THAT HAD
BEEN COUNTED WERE THE BALLOTS
THAT WERE CAST ON ELECTION DAY.
AFTER ELECTION DAY, THEY BEGAN
IN MOST PARTS OF PENNSYLVANIA
COUNTING THE MAIL BALLOTS.
THE MAIL BALLOTS THAT HAD BEEN
DELIVERED AND SENT IN WEEKS
AHEAD OF TIME, DAYS AHEAD OF
TIME.
IN ALL OF THESE COUNTIES BY
STATE LAW, THEY COULD ONLY
COLLECT THOSE BALLOTS UNTIL
ELECTION DAY.
AND ONLY ON ELECTION DAY COULD
THEY BEGIN TO OPEN THE BALLOTS,
VERIFY THEM, BEGIN TO PROCESS
THEM, BEGIN TO COUNT THEM.
IN SOME COUNTIES, THEY DIDN’T
EVEN BEGIN THAT PROCESS UNTIL
THE DAY AFTER THE ELECTION DAY.
SO THAT IS WHY FOR THE LAST TWO
DAYS NOW IN PENNSYLVANIA, WE’VE
BEEN GETTING ONE REPORT AFTER
ANOTHER OF JUST MAIL-IN BALLOTS,
WHICH WE HAVE SEEN HAVE BEEN
OVERWHELMINGLY DEMOCRATIC,
OVERWHELMINGLY FOR JOE BIDEN AND
NOW WE HAVE GOTTEN ENOUGH OF
THOSE MAIL BALLOTS THAT HAVE
BEEN PROCESSED IN PENNSYLVANIA
THAT WE CAN SEE THAT JOE BIDEN
