WASHINGTON - The next Democratic presidential primaries are set for Tuesday, despite growing worries about a coronavirus outbreak that has forced candidates Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders off the campaign trail and led two states to delay voting.
The rapidly spreading virus has shut down schools, restaurants, sporting events and concerts. Georgia and Louisiana already have postponed primaries due later in the calendar, and Sanders on Sunday questioned the wisdom of voting in two days. The primaries in the four big states could give front-runner Biden, the former vice president, a nearly unassailable lead over Sanders, a democratic socialist senator from Vermont, in delegates who will pick the Democratic challenger to Trump in the Nov. 3 election.
“We are confident that voters in our states can safely and securely cast their ballots in this election, and that otherwise healthy poll workers can and should carry out their patriotic duties on Tuesday,” the officials said. The contenders held their first face-to-face debate in a Washington television studio with no audience, to limit possible virus exposure. Onstage, they smiled and shared an elbow bump, abiding by health officials’ advice to avoid handshakes.
