Ohio seeks to delay the Democratic presidential primary vote scheduled for Tuesday, but three states - Arizona, Florida and Illinois - are still set to go ahead with their primaries amid coronavirus fears
WASHINGTON - Ohio will seek to postpone Tuesday’s presidential nominating contest, its governor said on Monday, making it the first of four states that had been scheduled to hold Democratic primaries that day despite growing concerns about the coronavirus.
On Sunday, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended cancellation of gatherings of 50 or more over the next eight weeks. The primaries in the populous states of Florida, Illinois and Ohio, as well as Arizona, have the potential to give Biden a nearly unassailable lead over Sanders, his only viable rival and a self-styled democratic socialist.
“I’m thinking about some of the elderly people who are sitting behind the desks, registering people, doing all that stuff. Does that make a lot of sense? Not sure that it does.”Prominent leaders and groups in the Democratic Party have been coalescing around Biden. On Monday, he picked up endorsements from Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker and from the International Longshoremen’s Association, a large maritime workers’ union based in New Jersey.
