Amid Covid-19 pandemic, Joe Biden wins Florida and Illinois as virus disruptions reshape American politics

Firstpost  

For Sanders, 78, the country’s sudden turn away from the campaign may have the effect of smothering even the most determined effort to block Biden, 77, or broaden his own political appeal. Joe Biden easily defeated Sen. Bernie Sanders in the Florida and Illinois primaries on Tuesday, all but extinguishing Sanders’ chances for a comeback on an Election Day conducted amid a series of cascading disruptions from the coronavirus pandemic. In the two biggest states voting on Tuesday, Sanders failed: Biden carried Illinois by a wide margin, keeping intact his winning streak in the large Midwestern primary states, after previously winning in Minnesota and Michigan. “Our goal as a campaign, and my goal as a candidate, is to unify this party and unify this nation.” Praising the “remarkable passion and tenacity” of Sanders and his supporters, the former vice president said he and the senator disagree on tactics but “share a common vision.” Sanders did not deliver a speech about the primary results but earlier in the evening he broadcast his own online address calling for sweeping government action to remedy the economic damage of the crippling virus, including an initiative to give people $2,000 monthly payments for the duration of the crisis.
