New York’s Presidential Primary Is Back On, Pleasing Progressives
Sen. Bernie Sanders, who has formally withdrawn from the Democratic race, still hopes to generate support for his populist agenda.
The New York Democratic presidential primary will proceed on June 23, following a second ruling in federal court on Tuesday.
A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd
Circuit affirmed a lower court ruling that earlier this month had reinstated the election.
Democratic officials on the New York State Board of Elections announced in late April that they were canceling the presidential primary on the grounds that former Vice President Joe Biden’s bid for the nomination is now uncontested. The board argued that, in light of the circumstances, holding the election would impose unnecessary financial costs and public health risks.
But former presidential candidate and entrepreneur Andrew Yang sued to overturn the decision, arguing that New Yorkers have a right to cast a ballot in favor of another candidate.
Ultimately that argument won out, overjoying progressive activists in general and supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in particular. Sanders seeks to amass enough convention delegates in New York and other states to give him a voice in shaping the Democratic Party platform and rules.
“This is a great day for democracy, both for N.Y. voters and for all Americans who cherish their right to vote,” said George Albro, a pro-Sanders New York attorney who joined Yang in the lawsuit.
