MIAMI (HRNW) – Millions of Americans troop to polling stations Tuesday in four states despite the coronavirus pandemic bringing anxiety and uncertainty to the nation’s Democratic primaries, with Joe Biden aiming to widen his lead against Bernie Sanders.
Campaigning has shifted from mass rallies to online events, candidate debates are audience-free, and multiple states have postponed their primaries as the coronavirus, which has killed more than 70 people nationwide, prompts unprecedented alterations to the political landscape in an election year.
Democrats are in the midst of choosing a nominee who will challenge Republican President Donald Trump in November’s election.
But doubts have undercut the process. As Arizona, Florida, Illinois and Ohio gear up to vote Tuesday, there is confusion about whether polling stations will be safe.
Voters are also conflicted about venturing out to cast ballots despite Trump urging Americans to restrict gatherings to groups of fewer than 10 people.
