Election Watch 2020: News from the Campaign Trail
The journey to the 2020 presidential election continues. Below are the latest highlights from the campaign trail:
- Former Vice President Joe Biden continues to collect endorsements on his path to the Democratic nomination, including one from Former President Barack Obama.
- New Jersey is the latest state to postpone its primary. It joins 15 other states (and a few territories) that have taken similar action because of the pandemic.
- Wisconsin is being heavily criticized for refusing to postpone its in-person primary on April 7th. Despite the governor’s stay-at-home order, hundreds of people gathered to vote in person, in part because the ballots needed to vote by mail did not arrive in time.
