On Monday, Politico's Roger Simon tweeted that White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said he was unsure if President Obama has the power to delay November's election if power is still out due to Hurricane Sandy.
"On AF1, Carney is asked if power is still out on Election Day, whether Obama has power to delay the election. 'I don't know,' he says," Simon tweeted.
On Monday, President Obama addressed the storm and said the election would "take care of itself."
“I’m not worried, at this point, about the impact on the election,” the President said. “I’m worried about the impact on families. I’m worried about the impact on our first responders. I’m worried about the impact on our economy and on transportation. The election will take care of itself next week.”
