“I haven’t seen the latest delegate count, but my guess is that after California is thrown into the hopper, it’s going to be pretty close. We may be up by a few, Biden may be up by a few, but I think we go forward basically neck and neck,” Sanders said at a press conference at his campaign headquarters in Burlington, Vt.

Sanders’s remarks came after a decisive victory in California’s primary, which rewards 415 pledged delegates, the most of any state. However, the actual delegate breakdown from the gargantuan primary is not expected to be determined for days or even weeks — the Golden State is notorious to taking time to tally its votes, in part because of the sheer size of its contest.

While Sanders posted big numbers in California, Biden ran up the score across the South and secured victories in states he was not anticipated to win, such as Massachusetts, Minnesota and Texas. The former vice president won by big margins in Alabama, Arkansas, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Virginia, while Sanders also took Colorado, Utah and Vermont.

Sanders said he looked forward to continuing to debate issues with Biden, at one point proposing an hourlong debate dedicated solely to health care. 

“As we come into the last several months of this campaign, what I hope very much is that what we can focus on is an issue-oriented campaign which deals with the concerns of the American people,” Sanders said.

“Joe Biden is somebody I have known for many years. I like Joe. I think he’s a very decent human being. Joe and I have a very different voting record. Joe and I have a very different vision for the future of this country. And Joe and I are running very different campaigns,” he added. “My hope is that in the coming months we will be able to debate and discuss the very significant differences that we have.”

Sanders slammed the “venom” directed at his campaign and dismissed the last primary debate, which was characterized by negative attacks, as a “food fight,” but he also tore into Biden over his voting record in the Senate, including his past support for the Iraq War and trade deals such as the North American Free Trade Agreement. 

“So the American people have got to understand that this is a conflict about ideas, about a record, about a vision for where we go forward,” Sanders said. “And I like Joe, Joe is a decent guy, and I do not want this campaign to degenerate into a Trump-type effort where we’re attacking each other, where it’s personal attacks. That is the last thing this country wants.

“Joe has his ideas, his record, his vision for the future. I have mine,” he added.

The skit opened with Ingraham, played by Kate McKinnon, dismissing the novel coronavirus as “an urban legend” and “liberal fan fiction.” Pirro, played by Cecily Strong, later argued that “Americans are not at risk” for the virus.

“Especially not our viewers, who skew elderly, are in bad health, live cloistered together in home specifically for sick people and have smoked their entire lives,” she said. 

Some minutes later, Matthews, played by Darrell Hammond, made an appearance and quipped that Fox News is “amazing,” noting that “everyone here is hot, crazy or both!” Matthews last week retired from MSNBC after a series of controversies on and off the air. 

McKinnon’s Ingraham then introduced Warren as the woman who “savagely murdered Michael BloombergMichael BloombergEngel scrambles to fend off primary challenge from left It’s as if a Trump operative infiltrated the Democratic primary process Liberals embrace super PACs they once shunned MORE on live television.”

When asked how she’s felt since dropping out of the race, Warren said she’s “doing just fine.”

“My friends and family have been so supportive. They’ve been calling nonstop, asking, ‘Are you OK? What do you need? Were you electable?’ That kind of thing,” she said. 

McKinnon’s Ingraham then transitioned to what she said would be footage of Warren confronting Bloomberg, the former New York City mayor who self-funded his presidential campaign and also dropped out of the 2020 race, during one of the Democratic debates. The footage was instead a viral clip of Warren’s dog, Bailey, attempting to eat a burrito. 

“Just to be clear, were you the dog or the burrito?” McKinnon’s Ingraham asked. 

“I was the dog,” Warren replied before the conversation moved to a discussion about who she will endorse for the Democratic presidential nomination.

“Not only did I not accept money from billionaires; I got to give one a swirly on live TV,” she said. 

As the interview appeared to be wrapping up, McKinnon, who has impersonated Warren throughout the campaign, appeared alongside the senator. 

“I wanted to put on my favorite outfit to thank you for all you’ve done in your lifetime,” McKinnon said.

Warren dropped out of the presidential race after struggling to earn significant support in the early voting states and on Super Tuesday. The staunch progressive’s campaign was centered around fighting inequality in the U.S. and creating a bevy of plans to reorient American governance.

“They’re all capable of being president,” Biden told NBC’s Gabe Gutierrez in an interview set to air on “NBC Nightly News” on Monday when asked if he had considered Booker or Harris, both of whom have endorsed him, for a spot on a possible Democratic ticket.

“And not just those, but Amy Klobuchar,” Biden added. “There’s a whole range of people who have endorsed and all I can tell you is it would be presumptuous for me to decide who is going to be vice president. I’m not even the nominee yet.”

Klobuchar has also endorsed the former vice president.

“I have thought about it and I can tell you one thing. Whomever the vice president is, is going to be someone that has a relationship like Barack and I had where we are on the big issues strategically aligned,” Biden added, referring to former President Obama.

“We can disagree on tactic but we have to have the same strategic objectives, number one. And number two, my administration, were I fortunate enough to win the nomination, be elected, is going to look like the country from the vice presidency all the way through my cabinet and White House staff,” he said.

Biden also said he was looking to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for guidance when asked about whether campaigns should continue to hold rallies amid the spread of the coronavirus.

“If you notice in here, we did a fist bump, we didn’t shake hands,” he told Gutierrez. “Well, I think that we’re going to follow the recommendations of the experts … and if they conclude that there shouldn’t be big indoor rallies then we’ll stop big indoor rallies. We’re going to do whatever they say.”

Members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus are encouraging former Vice President Joe BidenJoe BidenHillicon Valley: Biden calls on Facebook to change political speech rules | Dems demand hearings after Georgia election chaos | Microsoft stops selling facial recognition tech to police Trump finalizing executive order calling on police to use ‘force with compassion’ The Hill’s Campaign Report: Biden campaign goes on offensive against Facebook MORE to take a page from Sen. Bernie SandersBernie SandersThe Hill’s 12:30 Report: Milley apologizes for church photo-op Harris grapples with defund the police movement amid veep talk Biden courts younger voters — who have been a weakness MORE’s (I-Vt.) successful Latino outreach strategy

The calls come as Biden has emerged as the leading front-runner of the Democratic Party after decisive wins in the South and the Midwest that have been powered by African Americans, moderates and older voters.

Sanders, however, has shown strong support from Latino voters, as reflected in his wins in the Western states of California and Nevada.

Latinos have credited the support for Sanders to a strategy that has featured comprehensive outreach efforts as well as the appointment of Hispanics to top campaign positions – one that they now hope Biden will emulate.

“Whoever wants to be the next president of the United States, and the next, and the next, and the next, needs to run a campaign that takes into account all of the Americans who have the right to vote and have the right to know what a candidate stands for,” said Rep. Tony Cárdenas (D-Calif.), a Biden supporter who runs the CHC’s campaign arm.

“Bernie Sanders’s campaign was the first campaign at the national level that actually elevated a culturally competent Latino or Latina – in this case a Latino – to be at the head table, helping them make those good decisions for the campaign. And as a result, Bernie Sanders in some states dominated the results when it came to who Latinos supported,” said Cárdenas, referring to Chuck Rocha, a top Sanders adviser.

Rocha, a campaign consultant who’s worked with multiple CHC members, steered the Sanders campaign toward early investment in Latino voters in key states, delivering early wins that initially propelled the Vermont senator to front-runner status.

“Congressman Cárdenas has always demanded our community to have a seat at the table. And that’s why I am so proud to run our operation. I have been running the meeting and not just sitting at the table,” Rocha told The Hill.

Rocha’s strategy, based on longstanding demands from Hispanic leaders, implies moving early to push a culturally competent message to Hispanic voters, many of whom have never been contacted by campaigns.

“We need a well-funded and culturally competent Latino turnout operation to defeat Donald TrumpDonald John TrumpSenate advances public lands bill in late-night vote Warren, Democrats urge Trump to back down from veto threat over changing Confederate-named bases Esper orders ‘After Action Review’ of National Guard’s role in protests MORE in November. We proved that this work must start well before the normal GOTV (get out the vote) operations of the Democratic Party,” said Rocha. “Latinos will no longer accept being window dressing in these campaigns, and should be in charge of actually running the campaigns.” 

CHC members, both moderate Biden supporters like Cárdenas and progressive Sanders surrogates like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-CortezAlexandria Ocasio-CortezAttorney says 75-year-old man shoved by Buffalo police suffered brain injury How language is bringing down Donald Trump Highest-circulation Kentucky newspaper endorses Charles Booker in Senate race MORE (D-N.Y.) agree.

“Historically, the Democratic Party and Democratic Party institutions have struggled dramatically and have been very inadequate with Latino outreach and really generating Latino policies and Vice President Biden, he’s relying on a lot of traditional institutions in the party, and he has won them over, to his credit,” said Ocasio-Cortez.

“However, if we are relying on those traditional institutions … it means that you’re kind of continuing the inertia of the strengths and also the deficits, and one of those deficits is the Democratic Party’s Latino outreach,” she added.

Cárdenas, who maintains close contact with the Biden camp, said he’s confident the former vice president’s team is already working to implement a Latino voter strategy similar to Sanders’s.

Biden has allocated new resources to Latino outreach in Florida, Arizona and Illinois, states where the campaign believes the former vice president will be competitive among Latinos, according to a source with knowledge of internal deliberations.

Cárdenas credited Sanders for being the first major presidential candidate to enact the engagement strategy that Hispanic leaders have demanded of the party for years.

“If you don’t communicate with a certain group of voters and you leave them as an afterthought, and then you only invest a small amount of attention toward those voters right before election day, you’re gonna get a low percentage turnout, and you’re gonna get a low percentage of those folks believing in you or your message,” said Cárdenas.

“And what I just said is what every presidential campaign has done before this presidential cycle. And the only presidential campaign who’s actually done that attending to the Latino voter was Bernie Sanders,” he added.

Biden has not been entirely absent in the Latino space.

His top Latino adviser, Cristóbal Alex, was recruited from Latino Victory, a well-respected progressive political advocacy group that’s championed Hispanic representation.

Latino Victory endorsed Biden in February.

The former vice president also won Latino voters in Virginia and South Carolina, denying Sanders an avenue to close the gap in those Southern states.

And Biden has structural advantages in Florida, which heads to the polls Tuesday, given that the former vice president has the support of key Latino segments in a state with the country’s third-largest Hispanic population.

“Biden’s crushing Latino votes in Florida. Look no further than recent polls that came out this morning. Yeah, but of course we’re a more unique situation. We have literally five different Hispanic ethnicities that could swing an election in Florida,” said Rep. Darren SotoDarren Michael SotoActivists, analysts demand Congress consider immigrants in coronavirus package Hispanic Democrats demand funding for multilingual coronavirus messaging Hispanic Democrats see Sanders’s Latino strategy as road map for Biden MORE (D-Fla.), the state’s first federal legislator of Puerto Rican origin.

“Biden was good in Virginia in some of the East Coast states and the Hispanic turnout. Sanders has great support among Southwestern Hispanics. We’ve seen that throughout, and Biden is trending upward in a big way on the East Coast,” added Soto, who endorsed Biden after Super Tuesday.

And Cárdenas added that Biden lacked the funding early on in the primary to make a play for Hispanics while courting the African American and white suburban voters that propelled him to his current first place in the current Democratic race.

“The Biden campaign didn’t have anywhere near the amount of resources that the Sanders campaign had, but I personally called the Biden campaign immediately after Super Tuesday, and asked and explained to them what they already know and what they need to hear, which is they need to respect and invest in communicating with the Latino voters across America,” said Cárdenas.

“I have no reason to believe that the Biden campaign will not invest in communicating with the Latino community, the Latino voters across America,” added Cárdenas.

Arizonans will head to the polls Tuesday to vote in the Democratic presidential primary, where Biden has taken a lead despite Sanders’s strong showing among Hispanics in the West.

According to the poll, conducted by Latino Decisions, 44 percent of the state’s Hispanic voters surveyed intend to vote for Sanders, while 39 percent intend to vote for Biden.

ADVERTISEMENTAmong all Arizona voters, the poll shows Biden with a 51 percent to 34 percent lead over Sanders.

The poll indicates Sanders’s support among Hispanic voters in the West has remained strong, even as Biden has achieved a string of wins in primaries over the past couple of weeks.

But the poll also shows a large majority of Sanders’s supporters are willing to switch their support to Biden in a general election, and vice versa.

If the candidates in the general election are Biden and President TrumpDonald John TrumpSenate advances public lands bill in late-night vote Warren, Democrats urge Trump to back down from veto threat over changing Confederate-named bases Esper orders ‘After Action Review’ of National Guard’s role in protests MORE, 61 percent of Hispanic respondents said they would vote for Biden, and 24 percent for Trump.

In a Sanders-Trump race, 64 percent would vote for the Vermont senator and 22 percent for the president.

Among all Arizona voters, Trump fares better but still trails both Sanders and Biden.

ADVERTISEMENTBiden has a 50 percent to 42 percent lead over Trump among all Arizona voters; Sanders leads Trump 48 percent to 43 percent, according to the poll.

Trump’s numbers reflect general discontent in Arizona toward issues championed by the White House, including tax cuts and a border wall.

Arizona Hispanics overwhelmingly oppose border wall construction, 76 percent to 24 percent. White respondents are split on the issue, with 52 percent in favor and 48 percent against.

Overall, 55 percent of Arizonans oppose the wall, while 45 percent support it.

And 41 percent of Arizonans say they have not personally benefited at all from Trump’s economic policies, while only 18 percent say they have benefited a lot.

Among Hispanics, that disparity is even greater, with 53 percent saying they have not benefited “at all,” and 13 percent saying they have benefited “a lot.”

Sanders has benefited from Hispanic support in the West, much like Biden has benefited from the strong backing by African Americans in the South.

It’s unclear whether the coronavirus crisis will affect turnout in Arizona. The poll shows 50 percent of Arizonans believe the government has done enough to prevent the spread of the disease, while 45 percent say the government has not done enough.

The poll was conducted March 6-11 among 1,036 registered voters in Arizona, including 502 Latinos. The margin of error for the statewide poll is 3 percentage points and 4.4 points for the poll of Hispanic voters.

McSally’s campaign said in a statement that it is “not the time for politics” and will instead be encouraging staffers to help those in their communities who are particularly vulnerable to contracting the virus. 

“This is not a time for politics; it is a time for us to remember that we are in this together as Americans, regardless of party or ideology,” said McSally. “As such, I’ve directed my campaign to cease all television political adverting for at least the next 30 days. I have also suspended all door to door canvassing and have instead encouraged those staffers to help the elderly and vulnerable in their communities.”

McSally added that she will dedicate “100%” of her time to legislating in an effort to curb the health and economic impacts of the coronavirus. She urged her fellow lawmakers to join her in pausing their campaign efforts. 

“Members of Congress and candidates around the country should join me in this call for a national moratorium on ‘us vs. them.’ We need social distancing from our usual corners, and we need to look at each other as fellow Americans and with a servant’s heart, not with a politically jaundiced eye,” she said.

The announcement comes as federal officials advise against gatherings of more than 10 people, among other measures, to slow the spread of the virus. Twenty-one people have been infected in Arizona, and more than 100 people have already died across the U.S. from the illness. 

However, McSally will still have air cover during her advertising hiatus.

For its part, the Kelly campaign suspended door-to-door canvassing and large in-person events last Thursday and began mandatory telework on Monday.

“Last week, our campaign took steps following guidance from the CDC and Arizona public health officials to keep Arizonans and our staff healthy and safe,” said Kelly campaign spokesperson Jacob Peters. “Mark remains focused on ensuring workers, health care professionals, and business owners have the support they need to get through this.”

“The people supporting this campaign have made more than 50,000 donations to help those most impacted by coronavirus because they understand that now more than ever it is important that we are in this together,” Curran added.

There have been more than 19,600 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the U.S. and at least 260 deaths, according to John Hopkins University.

Sen. Martha McSallyMartha Elizabeth McSallyGOP senators introduce resolution opposing calls to defund the police No evidence of unauthorized data transfers by top Chinese drone manufacturer: study Senate Democratic campaign arm launches online hub ahead of November MORE (R-Ariz.) has released a new campaign ad featuring testimony from a former aide recounting her battle with cancer.

In the ad, Kristen Douglas recounts her experience battling brain cancer and the hospital bills that came after. Douglas said she was dropped by her private insurer because she had a preexisting condition.

“Martha McSally will fight tirelessly to make sure people with pre-existing conditions are insured,” Douglas said in the ad, which shows the two women hugging.

While Douglas says in the ad that her path “collided” with McSally’s just weeks after receiving a clean bill of health, the ad itself does not disclose that she has worked for the senator, The Arizona Republic reported.

In 2014, Douglas was a campaign manager for McSally’s House race and later worked as her deputy chief of staff for two years while she was in Congress.

McSally’s campaign manager Dylan Lefler told The Arizona Republic that McSally and Douglas have been close for years.

“After winning her battle with cancer, Kristen met Martha and was inspired by her message,” Lefler said in a statement. “She eventually decided to work for Martha serving the people of Arizona. … Kristen has known Martha for over a decade and when she heard the lies being spread across Arizona, she decided to speak up and share her first-hand experience about how Martha has fought for individuals with pre-existing conditions.”

While in the House, McSally staunchly opposed the 2010 Affordable Care Act, which among other things prohibited insurers from charging those with pre-existing conditions higher premiums.

McSally supported the American Health Care Act of 2017, a GOP-backed bill that prohibited insurers from denying coverage to those with pre-existing conditions but allowed them to charge higher premiums. Earlier this year McSally introduced a bill to lower drug prices. 

The topic has come up as she faces a steep challenge from Democrat Mark Kelly, a former astronaut who has out-raised McSally so far in the Senate race.

In 2014, Douglas described the ACA to the Republic as “an experiment in social engineering that discourages genuine competition, is funded by mandates, penalties and taxes.”

Le risque de contamination par le Covid-19 dans un avion serait faible, selon une étude publiée dans la revue américaine JAMA Network Open.

Coronavirus : le risque de transmission dans l’avion serait faible <br />

Deux cas de contamination avérés pour 102 passagers. Selon les résultats d’une étude publiée dans la revue américaine JAMA Network Open, les risques de contamination par le nouveau coronavirus dans un avion serait faible. Pour arriver à cette conclusion, des virologues ont étudié le cas d’un vol, d’une durée de 4h30 en provenance d’Israël à destination de Francfort, en mars dernier. Les passagers n’étaient à cette époque pas

masqués. A bord de ce vol, un groupe de 24 personnes avait été en contact dans un hôtel par une personne infectée avant d’embarquer. Contactés par les autorités allemandes, les touristes en questions ont été testés et 7 d’entre eux étaient positifs au Covid-19.  Quatre à cinq semaines plus tard, les chercheurs ont contacté les 78 passagers restant. 90% d’entre eux ont répondu à leur demande. Ils ont étudié les contacts entre passagers, les symptômes de ces derniers et en ont testé plusieurs. 2 se sont avérés très probablement contaminés, ils étaient installés de l’autre côté du couloir des cas initiaux.

Les virologues considèrent généralement que les zones de contaminations correspondent aux deux rangées devant et derrière la personne contaminée par un virus respiratoire. Or dans ce cas, une personne assise dans la rangée de deux touristes infectés n’a pas été contaminée, tout comme deux passagers assis derrière une autre personne infectée. Tous les passagers n’ayant pas été testés, il pourrait y avoir eu plus de cas mais cette étude confirme en tous cas une possibilité de contamination dans un avion en l’absence de masque mais que le taux est plus faible que prévu. De précédentes études sur des vols de rapatriement depuis Wuhan en Chine, foyer de l’épidémie, avaient établi l’absence de contamination.
