by Tiziana Di Giovannandrea 02 March 2020 Senator Amy Klobuchar has decided to withdraw from the Democratic primary and support former Vice President Joe Biden. The American media reported on quoting sources close to the Senator from Minnesota who decided to attend a meeting in Biden, Dallas, to consecrate the alliance.

Klobuchar's decision comes in the aftermath of the farewell to the Democratic primary of former Indiana mayor Pete Buttigieg. The senator won 7 delegates in the first 4 states to vote. In the Super Tuesday of March 3, his victory was expected in Minnesota.

Biden asked for Buttigieg's support, he thinks about it. Yes oriented
Pete Buttigieg, who has retired from the Democratic Primaries for the US Presidential elections in the past few hours, is considering giving public support for the candidacy of former Vice President Joe Biden.

The US media claim that the former mayor of South Bend allegedly spoke on the phone with Biden and former President Barack Obama. According to New York Times sources, Biden asked Buttigieg for his support and the former mayor replied that he would consider the request. Buttigieg would have told his staff that he wanted to think about it for one night, a sign that he could soon give Biden his 'placet'. Obama would not have specifically told Buttigieg to support Biden, but to properly use the considerable weight he currently has in the race for democratic nomination. Buttigieg's support for Biden, perhaps before the Super Tuesday of March 3, when 14 states vote, could create a solid moderate front to counter the 'socialist' senator Bernie Sanders.

California: polls give Sanders favorite, 17 points ahead
Senator Bernie Sanders is leading in California with 17 points ahead of former vice president Joe Biden, in the run for the DEM nomination ahead of the presidential elections in the United States. This is what emerges from a new poll by Emerson College and Nexstar on the eve of Super Tuesday, reports Newsweek. Sanders has 38% of the supports, Biden has 21%. In September, the survey attributed 26% to Biden, the same as Sanders had obtained. Senator Elizabeth Warren is 16% in the new poll; former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg at 11%; 5% Senator Amy Klobuchar.

Coronavirus changes the rules of American expats who vote abroad
Coronavirus impacts Democrats overseas on Super Tuesday. In China and South Korea, but also in some Italian cities, voters will not be able to vote in person and will instead have to express their preference by post or better online.

In Italy it will be possible to vote in Florence, at the Collective Gallery in Via Maggio, in three different locations in Rome, but not in Milan, Padua and Verona as initially planned. "We had done everything we could to make the primaries as accessible as possible by following local guidelines," explained Julia Bryan, president of Democrats Abroad: "We are now assisting voters to vote remotely in the affected locations." Americans who would have voted in person in Milan, Padua or Verona will now have to send the ballot paper, fax it to their state's constituency or vote by email.

Be voted in 14 states: Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont and Virginia.
