Will there be another Primary?

Will Alaska, Hawaii and Wyoming vote later this month? Or will all Primaries be pushed off as late as possible (basically June)

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

herd immunity pushes this virus through communities. I hate to be pessimistic but I don't think self isolation for any significant timeframe will work in America. People will become desperate and flee cities where infection rates are high. It will take about two cycles of no income and most Americans are done. Just wait. These people on tv self isolating in nice homes, working from home with thier private school kids playing in the back ground is not typical Americans.

No visuals, no rallies. No conventions. Trump is now visible, and it's reflected in the polls.

Elections mean change. How do you motivate while under a cloak of invisibility?

I think people are VERY motivated to remove dotard. Even at that, any election minus all the covid19 stuff people haven’t been to rallies and are still very motivated vote

The reporters need to scream above the cheering, the candidates need to be hoarse from overwork. This will become an armchair campaign, or at least a webinar moment.

they will need to take place, regardless. They could happen in June, though, and still leave time for November ballot preparation.

I suspect some will happen on schedule, while others will be delayed. Some will probably make it easier for voters to participate by mail, as well.

And by then, voting by mail will be allowed in all of those States to the extent not already permitted. Then there will be no convention as we know it, and delegates will participate remotely.
