We live in interesting times.

As the supposedly old saying goes (it's probably a made-up one, though). We continue to wish for your continued health and safety in these uncertain times ... and we'll keep bringing you the news you'll want to know this week!

Joe Biden crosses the 1,000-delegate threshold! All signs point to him as the 2020 Democratic nominee.

"Sanders’ hopes failed to come to fruition, however, as Biden beat back Sanders as the likely Democratic nominee with a clean sweep of the South thus far, joined by major wins in states where Sanders was expected to do well, such as Washington and Michigan." [Read the full story from The Federalist.]

Although Ohio delayed its primary election last night -- after a very messy back and forth with the courts -- three other states held theirs. Joe Biden made a clean sweep of Arizona, Illinois, and Florida.

In a sign of the times, both Biden and Sanders spoke to supporters yesterday via online livestreams instead of in-person events.

Biden is now over the 1,000-delegate threshold. You'll remember that it takes 1,991 delegates to win at the Democratic convention on the first ballot and guarantee the nomination -- and Biden is now at 1,153 delegates to Sanders' 874.

It seems like Sanders doesn't have a path to victory in 2020, but*...

(*Yes, this was intentional. Keep reading to the next headline!)

...don't count out Bernie! He's likely to keep running even if he has no chance of winning.

"Former and current aides and allies of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) expect the candidate to stay in the Democratic primary race even as his chances of winning shrink, according to a Politico report." [Read the full story from the Washington Free Beacon.]

Candidates tend to bow out of party primaries for the sake of unity ... and preserving a future in that same party. (Looking at you, Amy and Pete!)

But what happens when you lead a revolution against your party? Well, it means you may not drop out at all. At least that's what Sanders supporters predict he'll do: stay in the race even as he's increasingly unlikely to win.

That means the Biden campaign must expend even more time and money to campaign in the primary -- and not against President Trump in the lead-up to the general election in November.

The only group that benefits from this move is the Trump 2020 campaign. But as we shared with you on Monday, the "Bernie bros" don't seem to mind.

President Trump continues to lead in these uncertain times: closing our northern border in cooperation with Canada.

"President Trump on Wednesday announced the closure of the U.S.-Canada border to all non-essential travel. 'We will be, by mutual consent, temporarily closing our Northern Border with Canada to non-essential traffic,' Trump wrote on Twitter. 'Trade will not be affected. Details to follow!'" [Read the full story from National Review.]

President Trump and his Administration continue to respond to the coronavirus outbreak in the U.S. with new updates coming daily.

More than a month ago, President Trump announced that he would start to restrict travel from China. Though he faced criticism at the time from the left, Americans can see now that it was the right move to protect our country.

Today President Trump announced that, working with the Canadian government, the U.S. will close our border to non-essential travel -- but not trade.

And putting restrictions on our southern border, too.

"New rules for deportation of illegal immigrants are expected to be announced within the next 48 hours. According to the rules, illegal immigrants will be deported to Mexico immediately upon arrest, without any detention at Border Patrol facilities." [Read the full story from National Review.]

President Trump and his Administration continue to take decisive action in the face of coronavirus.

It was also announced that illegal immigrants who cross the southern border with Mexico will be deported immediately, rather than remain in US Border Patrol facilities.

This is the smart move for security and humanitarian purposes: as National Review reported, the Trump Administration staff acknowledged that "Border Patrol cannot risk an outbreak of coronavirus in its detention facilities."
