He is a big step closer to the nomination. A duel between Joe Biden and Donald Trump in the US presidential election in November is becoming more and more likely. With the victories in three countries, the former US Vice President extended his lead over his rival Bernie Sanders in the race for the Democratic presidential candidacy. A total of 219 delegate votes are cast in Florida, 155 in Illinois, 67 in Arizona. Sanders is under increasing pressure to get out of the race and, at least in this point, to clarify this point in the Corona crisis. Towards the end of the election day on Tuesday, Sanders made no firm statements about his further plans. Instead, he emphasized the importance of ensuring that every employee gets his salary in times like these. Biden already sounded as if the fight against Sanders was already over. Biden said in a livestream that he and his followers fought with remarkable passion and tenacity for issues such as affordable health care and measures to combat climate change. “So let me tell the young voters who were inspired by Senator Sanders: I understood you.”
