Joe Biden has shifted his stance on whether Wisconsin should have plowed ahead with its primary.
“My gut is we shouldn’t have had the in-person election in the first place," the presumptive 2020 Democratic presidential nominee told CNN late Tuesday. "It should have been all mail-in ballots."
Biden, the former two-term vice president and 36-year Delaware senator, was criticized before Democrats in Wisconsin went to the polls Tuesday for equivocating on whether the primary should be held, as well as the state's other spring general elections, including for a state Supreme Court seat.
Biden, 77, repeatedly said the decision should be left to local lawmakers and public health officials. In contrast, Bernie Sanders, Biden's last remaining rival to become his party's standard-bearer, was vocal in his opinion that the contests should be delayed, early voting extended, and greater provisions made for residents to vote-by-mail.
