Ready The Clown Car: The First Batch of Democrats Are Ready To Announce Their 2020 Bids

TDS.

Joe Biden want to be elected President in November, right? If this situation is so far beyond him that he cannot come out and take some Q&A about it - not just read from a teleprompter, like his former boss used to do - then maybe he should let everyone know that, or perhaps just withdraw from the contest.

Where is Joe Biden?

 

Getting the shack nasties already, are you?

 

Bernie Sanders has announced today that he is staying in the race until at least the end of April and that he is getting ready to face off against Joe Biden at the next debate, which as of today has not been scheduled yet.

Bernie Sanders will stay in 2020 race until New York primary

Bernie Sanders’ sputtering campaign will participate in the New York primary on April 28, despite no clear path to the nomination and growing calls for him to swiftly exit the race.

In a Tuesday morning email, the Vermont senator’s campaign said they were ramping up for the next round of primaries with thousands of volunteers phone-banking and organizing in the Empire State.

“In the ramp up to the New York primary, Bernie 2020 today announced full-time state staff and a broadscale digital organizing program throughout the state,” the email read.​

Sanders apparently has his eye set on the New York Primary, which is currently scheduled for April 28. Of course a number of leading voices among the Democrat left establishment have proposed scrapping the New York Primary altogether. Of course that would not be very 'Democratic,' but will anyone really be surprised if they cancel it anyway. Fortunately in their minds, the coronavirus gives them a thinly veiled excuse to try to spin this with. But the Bernie Bros may in many cases not be sympathetic to a stunt like that.

Joe Biden currently leads Bernie Sanders in the delegate count by 1211-901 (310 delegates). To be the nominee, 1991 delegates are required, so both candidates are still well short.

 

By the way. #WhereIsJoe?

 

Joe Biden has come out to announce that he thinks there have been enough debates, even though the DNC originally announced 12 scheduled debates.

Biden: 'I think we've had enough debates'

Former Vice President Joe Biden on Wednesday said it’s time for the Democratic primary to draw to a close and signaled a disinterest in participating in a final debate against Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).

“My focus is just dealing with this crisis right now,” Biden said at a virtual press conference. “I haven’t thought about any more debates. I think we’ve had enough debates. I think we should get on with this."

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) originally scheduled 12 debates and 11 have taken place so far. The DNC has not responded to a request for comment about the whether the final debate is still in the works.​

There have been 11 debates so far. So it appears that the DNC will either conduct the last debate, or announce that they have decided to cancel it.

But Bernie Sanders has said he is ready for action, even if Joe Biden is not.
