Pa. Governor Wolf aims to contain GOP revolt

‘A pressure cooker’: Pa. governor aims to contain GOP revolt
By MARC LEVY Associated Press
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf is struggling to fight against a Republican revolt over his stay-at-home orders and business shutdowns. Egged on by state GOP lawmakers, counties have threatened to defy his orders while at least a few business owners have reopened their doors despite his warnings. The Democratic governor has had to decide how far to go in enforcing the orders. The chief instigator behind the Republican strategy, President Donald Trump, is set to visit the state on Thursday. Behind the rhetoric is a political fight over who will be blamed for the state’s economic devastation if it is not repaired by Election Day.
