Former presidential candidate Andrew Yang challenged New York's decision to cancel its Democratic primary, scheduled for June 23. The state chose to do so because it's obvious former Vice President Joe Biden will win the nomination and the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic, which has ravaged the state. Judge Analise Torres ruled that New York must have its Democratic primary, finding the cancellation unconstitutional, and it must include "all qualified candidates."

The Senate Secretary said the office has "no discretion to disclose any such information" when it comes to presumptive 2020 Democratic candidate Joe Biden's records concerning Tara Reade, who alleges he sexually assaulted her in 1993.

DNC Chairman Tom Perez brushed aside the idea of a panel.

Tara Reade blasted failed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton over her endorsement of presumptive 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden:
"I voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016. I voted for her in the primary. I'm a lifelong Democrat. But yet, what I see now is someone enabling a sexual predator and it was my former boss, Joe Biden, who raped me," Reade told Fox News. "Hillary Clinton has a history of enabling powerful men to cover up their sexual predatory behaviors and their inappropriate sexual misconduct. We don't need that for this country. We don't need that for our new generation coming up that wants institutional rape culture to change."
