New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo moves presidential primary

CNN  

CNN — New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said the state’s presidential primary election will be postponed from April 28 until June 23 amid coronavirus fears, making it the 13th presidential primary contest date change due to the virus. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump said he is thinking about a possible “short-term, two week” quarantine for “New York, probably New Jersey and certain parts of Connecticut.” Speaking at the White House, Trump said, “We might not have to do it, but there’s a possibility sometime today” he will enact a quarantine.” Asked about Trump’s possible quarantine comments at Saturday’s news conference, Cuomo said he and the President had not talked about it. Trump said on the White House South Lawn that he had spoken with Cuomo Saturday, but then at Joint Base Andrews the President said, “I’ll speak to the governor about it later,” referring to the quarantine. The Democratic National Committee said in a statement that its Rules and Bylaws Committee would consider how to move forward with states like New York that have moved primaries beyond June 9.
