Biden Enjoying A Kentucky Bourbon In The Big Apple!

Joe Biden wins New York and Kentucky primaries.
The results of the New York and Kentucky Democratic presidential primaries.

Despite the Bernie Bros and the bullshit artist formerly known as Tara Reade, primary voters have ignored the noise and chose Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. over Bernard Sanders.

Donald J. Trump has already won Kentucky and New York.

New York cancelled their Republican Presidential Primary.

The former vice president has been working behind the scenes to encourage turnout.

His main opponent Donald J. Trump, the Republican incumbent president is tired of sitting on the sidelines. He decided to go back to campaign despite the COVID-19 pandemic he declared in March 2020.

His campaign manager Brad Pascale has been taunting Biden by claiming he's stuck in the basement while Trump is campaigning with his loyal supporters. Many in the healthcare believe it is extremely dangerous for Americans to be out in large gathering with the coronavirus.

Since the first confirmed case in January, we have over 5 million cases and over 150,000 American dead from this.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) beats back a challenger.
We have unemployment that is over 13.7% with over 45 million Americans out of a job and 140 million on restrictions or limited work. We have global uncertainty thanks to Trump's feuds with China, North Korea, Iran, Israel, the European Union, Mexico and India.

China and India could spark a global war because of a land dispute in an autonomous region of Eastern Asia.

Iran is still pissed about the United States killing its top general and vowed to retaliate.

Hundreds of companies could go under thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic. Macy's, JCPenney, JoAnn Fabrics, Ashley Furniture, Chuck E Cheese, Tim Hortons, Gap, Forever 21, GNC Live Well, Johnson & Johnson and other businesses are going belly up.

Joe Biden beats Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) in the long awaited New York Democratic presidential primary. A federal court ordered the state to conduct the presidential Democratic primary.

According to the Associated Press, Biden earned 67% of the vote while Sanders earned only 19% of the vote. The remaining candidates won 12% of the vote.

Biden is already the presumptive Democratic nominee is searching for a running mate who can help build momentum to his campaign.

Biden already secured over 70% of the vote in the Kentucky Democratic primary while Sanders has only 14% of the vote. The rest of the candidates have 16% of the vote.

The former vice president managed to secure enough delegates after the last round of primaries.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is a controversial figure. She emerged as one of the youngest members of Congress and most vocal progressive in the House of Representatives. Many her critics were hoping to knock her out of primary. It turns out that the firebrand lawmaker handily beat back a candidate many figure would moderate the district.

Ocasio-Cortez beat back former CNBC anchor Michelle Caruso-Cabrera.

Many called Ocasio-Cortez's surprise win over Joe Crowley a "fluke." It seems like this "fluke" managed to beat back an onslaught of haters from both the left and right.

The Kentucky primaries were a mess. They only have less than 200 polling stations in the state.
Kentucky state lawmaker Charles Booker is making the race for the U.S. Senate interesting. 
Thousands of Kentuckians had to wait in the elements to vote for their candidates. The exposure to COVID-19 is high in that state and Kentucky Republicans have made it harder for voters to make it to the ballots before its closure.

We await the results of the Democratic senate primary in Kentucky.

Amy McGrath is facing off against Charles Booker. McGrath barely lost to the now-widowed Rep. Andy Barr (R-KY) in a highly publicized election in 2018. Now the Marine fighter pilot veteran is hoping to take down Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), the controversial Majority Leader.

Most polls say that McConnell is leading by four points. McGrath and Booker both are fighting for Democratic nomination.
Amy McGrath has a small lead against insurgent Charles Booker.
Booker, an African American lawmaker who represents Louisville in the Kentucky assembly has the backing of Sanders, Ocasio-Cortez and Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN). Those last minute endorsements have made it a race that is too close to call.

Booker is more progressive than McGrath and many Democrats believe that his victory will only hurt their chances to take out the most corrupt senator in modern history.

Biden has 2,198 delegates while Sanders has 1,032 delegates.

Biden is being urged to pick a woman of color as a running mate. So far the leading candidates are Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), Rep. Val Demings (D-FL), Rep. Karen Bass (D-CA), Susan Rice, Stacey Abrams, Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) and Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV).
