Louisiana has decided to postpone its presidential primary from April 4th to June 20th.

“Today I have certified that a state of emergency exists and requested that the governor issue an executive order postponing the elections this spring. We have requested postponing the April 4 primary election until June 20 and postponing the May 9 general election until July 25,” Louisiana Secretary of State Kyle Ardoin said on Friday.

“While hurricanes, floods and tornadoes are at the forefront of all Louisianan’s minds, the threat we face from the COV-19 virus is an unprecedented threat and unlike any we have faced,” he concluded.

That would have been an easy Biden win. Not to mention the upcoming zombie vote would definitely have added to Democrat turnout.

What could that be? He could try a Reagan ’76 and name a running mate before any convention vote. But that move flopped for Reagan and he was beat at the 1976 GOP convention by incumbent President Gerald Ford.

Regardless of the ploy, both campaigns will try to use this period of national concern to their political advantage. Aside from attacking the president, the tired and expected gambit, they better come up with a good plan for themselves. Fast.
