Joe Biden wins the Nebraska Democratic Primary. |
It didn't affect his primary victory in Nebraska.
Mail-in ballots was record-breaking.
Nebraskans stayed clear from the in-person polling sites. But they did send in mail-in ballots and Biden managed to secure 79% of the vote and Sanders managed to win 13% of the vote and the remaining went to the other Democrats.
Donald J. Trump already has enough delegates to be the designated nominee.
The progressive candidate Kara Eastman will face off Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) in a rematch. She lost to Bacon by a mere 5 points in a district that is mostly conservative but is trending to purple.

Officials encouraged people to vote by mail even though Gov. Pete Ricketts and Secretary of State Bob Evnen pledge to have people show up for in-person voting. Voters so far broke record mail-in ballots and it appears that many also early voted before the primaries were delayed because of COVID-19.
Joe Biden can't do campaign due to the coronavirus pandemic. He said that he will do virtual campaigning for the time being.
Republicans are calling it "hiding in the basement."
Trump is pretty much sidelined from campaigning as well. He wants the government and economy to open up now. With nearly 100,000 Americans killed from COVID-19 and nearly 40 million out of jobs, it's nearly impossible for Trump to promote his "Keep America Great" campaign.
Biden has 1554 delegates and Sanders has 1004 delegates.
So far, Republicans continue to believe that they're going to have their National Convention in Charlotte in late August. That's still up in the air given that many are fearful of catching COVID-19.
The Democrats have postponed their National Convention in Milwaukee until the health officials in Wisconsin give an all clear.
