"If you want to talk about large gatherings in a place where you have community spread, I think that's a judgment call. And I wouldn't publicly criticize them, for deciding to cancel Elections 2020."America reported its first confirmed coronavirus cases a weeks before Sanders and Biden cancelled their campaign events.On Monday, Rep. Jockie Speicer, D-Calif., said "All presidential campaigns should be terminated and Democratic candidates should lead by example!"Biden and Sanders have called for bipartisan unification, under President Trump.
