Joe Biden won big on Tuesday, but where does the primary go from here?

The big question now is where the Democratic primary goes from here. According to The New York Times, Biden has extended his delegate lead to nearly 300 delegates, with another 75 still to be awarded from Tuesday’s primaries. Around 40 of those are from Florida, where Biden currently has more than 60%. And at this point we can’t confidently say when other states will hold their primaries—Ohio was supposed to vote on Tuesday but postponed its primary.

“The next primary contest is at least three weeks away,” Faiz Shakir, the campaign manager for Sen. Bernie Sanders, said in a statement. “Sen. Sanders is going to be having conversations with supporters to assess his campaign. In the immediate term, however, he is focused on the government response to the coronavirus outbreak and ensuring that we take care of working people and the most vulnerable.”

Good. If Sanders focuses on coronavirus as a way to press his values rather than going hard—and often negative—in a primary that he basically can’t win at this point while it’s in limbo, it’s a win-win. We need every possible voice pushing for good coronavirus policy, and his is obviously a powerful one.
