The Democratic Party already postponed its convention from July to August last week, citing worries over the COVID-19 outbreak.
- Former Vice President Joe Biden, the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, said on Sunday the party may be forced to host a"virtual" nominating convention in August due to concerns about the coronavirus pandemic.
Biden and rival Senator Bernie Sanders have been forced off the campaign trail, and more than a dozen states have postponed their primary elections. Wisconsin, however, plans to hold in-person voting on Tuesday despite calls for a delay. "Listen to the experts," Biden said."Do what they tell you. He may not like how he looks in a mask, but the truth of the matter is that – follow the science, that's what they're telling us.""He's moving too slow," Biden said."The virus is not his fault, but the response is his responsibility."
