In Demissie’s own words:
“The concern is that as long as the primaries are active, Biden must be seen and must actually not be dismissive of Sanders; lest the Sanders die-hards turn against him in the fall. It’s forcing the Biden team to walk a tightrope across a canyon when the bridge is right there.”
Thus far, Ohio, Georgia, Louisiana, Connecticut, and Kentucky have pushed back the dates for their primaries.
Where Does This Leave President Trump?
At this time, the Trump campaign hasn’t expressed concerns about coronavirus impacting their ability to defeat the Democrat nominee. As a matter of fact, President Trump and his campaign team continue working for a 2020 victory and reaching out to Americans. On multiple occasions, the president has stated that he’ll defeat the Democrat nominee; this sentiment predates coronavirus.
At this time, Joe Biden is the presumptive nominee that Trump will face. The former vice president has one remaining opponent that he’s up against; right now, however, Sanders faces a virtual impossibility of catching up to Biden in delegate count.
