Georgia postpones Democratic presidential primary over coronavirus concerns

Georgia is pushing back its Democratic presidential primary from March 24 until May 19, making it the second state to postpone voting amid the coronavirus outbreak.

Georgia’s primary was set to take place a week after four medium-size and large states hold contests on Tuesday, as former Vice President Joe Biden tries to finish off 2020 Democratic rival Bernie Sanders. Biden came from behind in the primary field to beat the Vermont senator handily in the South Carolina primary and then in a swath of contests the past two Tuesdays.
