The Associated Press and NBC News have projected 2020 presidential candidate Joe Biden as the winner of Arizona’s Democratic primary race on Tuesday night.
By 11:15 PM EST, NBC News reported that Biden led 2020 rival Sen. Bernie Sanders by 13 percentage points with 62 percent of the vote counted.
Biden’s victory in the Grand Canyon State caps a night that saw the former vice president win all three states that were up for grabs, including Florida and Illinois. Ohio’s scheduled primaries for Tuesday were pushed back to June 2 at the last minute as a containment measure against the COVID-19 outbreak.
With Biden’s decisive wins on Tuesday night, 2020 rival Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-VT) path to the nomination has shrunk considerably.
Oh, right, there’s still an election going on. Forgot about that. What year is it and is that ridiculous ranting orange furball still president?
For the 1st time, I’m cautiously optimistic that Sen. Sanders will make a gracious exit from the race and actively support the Dem nominee. The dual risks of the Covid-19 virus and a 2nd Trump administration have made it very difficult for him to justify continuing his candidacy. As some commenters on other threads have suggested, this would be a great time for Sen. Sanders to cement his place in history.
Bernie’s ‘assessing his campaign’ this morning.
Good move, Bernie.
Oh, and the Dow futures is currently a mere 200 points above where it was when Trump took office.
I think it’s fairer to say it in nonexistent. Why do people treat Sanders with such gentle deference when any other candidate would be shamed and hounded from the race as an egoist and spoiler?
I guess “Follow the money” will not be applied here!
