Corona Challenge Does Not Miss Democratic Elections • Criticism of Biden Conduct Against Cancel Rallies and Conflict

In the shadow of the worsening corona crisis in the world, especially in the US, the Democratic primaries have long been out of headlines and some claim that they simply have no right to exist in the current situation. But at least, despite the great advantage of former Vice President, the fight between Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders is still underway And the Democratic Party is trying to figure out how to stay relevant when the whole country is down to an emergency.

Quite a few states across the US have decided to postpone their primaries, with many other countries considering a similar move. On Monday, Senator Sanders won a vote among Democratic overseas voters in recent weeks.

Former Vice President Biden, who has won all major states in recent weeks and is considered a huge favorite in primaries, has been widely criticized for not having been here for 6 days, despite what many perceive as President Trump's problematic conduct on the Corona front.

After the hashtag # WhereisJoeBiden # became a hit on the network, Biden has been trying to find a place in the public eye in the last few days despite everything. In the meantime, at least, the leading Democratic candidate is choosing not to frontally attack Trump, but only to criticize parts of his policies.

"If you pay attention, I'm not criticizing the president but just pointing out where there are controversies about the sequel," Biden said Tuesday in an interview with The View on ABC. "The Corona is not his fault, but the lack of speed in response ... must be much faster. It's not about Democrats or Republicans."

Bernie Sanders also admitted Tuesday that the Democratic race is in a "bizarre moment", but at least he is currently refusing to retire, despite the big gap between him and Biden. The Democratic establishment seems to be trying to increase the pressure on the Jewish senator to end his tenure, thereby reducing the need to continue the primaries in the shadow of the Corona.

For example, New York Democratic Party chief Jay Jacobs said Tuesday that he "doesn't know if there is any need to hold primaries" in the Corona-battered state, where the vote is scheduled for April 28.

"It depends on Sanders," Jacobs explained. "It could be argued that the primaries should be canceled here ... The Corona epidemic is something Sanders should consider. But it depends on him. If he stays in the race, we will edit the primaries."

Another proposal that came up in New York is to postpone the June 23 race. In the Democratic Party, discussions began for an alternative script for the big party convention scheduled for mid-July in Milwaukee.
