Biden wins Wisconsin primary. Sanders continues to collect delegates

LA Times  

Nearly a week after Wisconsin voters headed to the polls in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, the election tally released Monday showed Joe Biden overwhelmingly beating Bernie Sanders in the state’s presidential primary. Though the nominee is not bound by the platform “it’s pretty rare that we make progressive moves in a platform and then scale back in the future.” Politics Bernie Sanders endorses Joe Biden for president Bernie Sanders endorsed Joe Biden’s presidential candidacy on Monday as he made a joint online appearance with the former vice president. Sanders backers also said having a vocal, contingent force could help ensure that Biden doesn’t forget about the priorities of the liberal wing of the party and pivot to the center in the general election. “All the major problems Bernie’s been talking about for many years are just coming to the fore in a harsh, severe way — the real consequences of our rigged economy and our corrupt political system,” Tulchin said before Sanders endorsed Biden.
