China News Service, May 4 (Xinhua), according to the Chinese website of the United States, former US Vice President Joe Biden won the Democratic presidential primaries in Kansas with an absolute advantage. Previously, due to the new crown epidemic, the state changed to voting by mail only.
According to reports, Biden won 77% of the votes in the May 2 primaries, and will receive the majority of party representatives in the state. At the end of March, when Kansas voters began mailing votes, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders was still in the election, but he later suspended the campaign and endorsed Biden.

After Biden recently won 29 party representative votes and Sanders won 10 votes, Biden is one step closer to reaching the number of party representative votes needed to win the Democratic nomination. Currently, Biden has won 1,435 party representative votes, and at least 1991 party representative votes are required to win the nomination. After many states postponed their primary elections, Biden is likely to wait until June to reach this threshold. According to statistics released by the Associated Press on May 3, Sanders has currently won 984 party representative votes.
On the other hand, Biden recently said that his vice presidential selection committee is reviewing "a dozen women" as potential running partners. Biden had previously promised to appoint a woman as vice president. He said in an interview on May 3 that he realized that sometimes he wanted to choose a black woman.
According to reports, Biden's shortlist of running partners includes: Senator He Jinli and former Georgia governor Candidate Stacey Abrams.
In addition, other potential running partners include: Senators Elizabeth Warren, Catherine Cortés Masto, Amy Krobutcher, and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
The former vice president also promised to nominate the first black woman for the Supreme Court. At a previous meeting, Biden said his government and judicial nominees would "look like a country." According to reports, he had stated that he hoped that the review process of his campaign partners could be completed by July.
At present, Biden has appointed members of the selection committee: former senator Chris Dodd, Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Jasiti, and former White House and Senate lawyer Cynthia Ho root.
