Joe Biden wins Florida and Illinois primaries, building on remarkable surge as he barrels toward Democratic presidential nomination
Former Vice President Joe Biden, participates in a Democratic presidential primary debate at CNN Studios in Washington, Sunday, March 15, 2020.
It marked the third week in a row Biden piled up wins after his victory in South Carolina last month revived his once-flagging campaign. Sanders has staged virtual rallies that his campaign says have been watched by millions, and he used the coronavirus outbreak to promote the need for universal, government-funded health care under "Medicare for All," his signature issue.
Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez blasted Ohio for breeding "more chaos and confusion." That has left the Democratic primary calendar empty until March 29, when Puerto Rico is scheduled to go to the polls - but island leaders are working to reschedule balloting there, too. Voting on Tuesday saw problems pop up across the country, meanwhile. In Okaloosa County in Florida's Panhandle, two dozen poll workers dropped out, leaving Elections Supervisor Paul Lux's staff scrambling to train replacements.
Sanders started speaking before the polls closed Tuesday and didn't mention the election results, instead sticking to policy while addressing supporters via livestream. During the coronavirus outbreak, he said, “We must make sure everyone who has a job right now receives the paychecks they need."
