Ohio’s top health official called a halt to the state’s presidential primary just hours before voting would have begun. After a judge refused Gov. Mike DeWine’s request on Monday to delay in-person voting, state Health Director Amy Acton declared the election would expose voters and volunteers to an “unacceptable risk” of contracting the new coronavirus. She ordered polling places not to open. State election officials rescheduled the primary for June 2.

The leading Democratic presidential candidates stood 6 feet apart Sunday night and argued their positions in a CNN studio with no audience. After greeting each other with an elbow bump, former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., each explained why he would make the best president in a time of crisis like the COVID-19 outbreak.

President Donald Trump does not have COVID-19. The White House released test results from the president’s personal physician on Saturday night. The disease caused by the new coronavirus has led to the deaths of at least 50 people in the United States and infected more than 2,200 others as of Saturday night.

The presidential campaign has taken up most of the political spotlight in the past few months, but the battle to control the Senate is perhaps just as significant. It will determine whether the next president can stock the judiciary with his picks and push his legislative agenda or whether he will have to contend with an obstructionist majority.

On the morning after a bruising Democratic debate in Charleston, S.C., former Vice President Joe Biden stood in the fellowship hall of a local Baptist church with a dark smudge on his forehead. 

It was Ash Wednesday, and Biden had dropped by a Catholic church earlier, where a priest applied ashes in the shape of a cross—a traditional symbol of repentance at the beginning of Lent. “Remember that you are dust,” a priest often says during the service. “And to dust you shall return.”

After pulling off victories in Idaho, Michigan, Mississippi, and Missouri on Tuesday, former Vice President Joe Biden invited supporters of Bernie Sanders to back him instead. “There’s a place in our campaign for each of you. I want to thank Bernie Sanders and his supporters for their tireless energy and their passion,” Biden said. “We share a common goal, and together we’ll beat Donald Trump.” Sanders won the North Dakota caucuses on Tuesday, while the race in Washington state was too close to call.

The First Amendment opens with the words “Congress shall make no law.” But what happens when corporations gain just as much or more power than Congress to curtail free speech? Though conservatives and liberals protest censorship by companies like Google, Twitter, and Facebook, two recent cases suggest the courts don’t want to see the First Amendment applied to Big Tech anytime soon.
