The big story today, of course, is the withdrawal of Mike Bloomberg from the Democratic primaries.  His presence on the ballot, especially in California, cost Biden more than it did Sanders.  Speaking of which, Sanders didn't win California in a landslide but by around 9 percent.  However, Bloomberg took 14 percent of the vote, and that vote would have given Biden the victory.

The final numbers from California won't be known for some time.

In any case, Bloomberg is out.  Worse for Sanders is Bloomberg endorsed Joe Biden for president.  He does have the bucks to go after Trump.

We don't want to forget the latest news on the coronavirus:

A contract medical screener at Los Angeles International Airport tested positive for coronavirus, the Department of Homeland Security said Wednesday.

The worker, whose last shift at the airport was on Feb. 21, is self-quarantined at home under medical supervision with mild symptoms, DHS said. The worker's immediate family is also quarantined, it said.

The county's board of supervisors and department of health declared a local and public health emergency in response to the growing number of cases in California, including six new cases in Los Angeles County.

The first Californian with coronavirus died Wednesday at a hospital in Roseville in northern California, officials said. The 71-year-old man is believed to have been exposed to the virus while on a cruise to Mexico last month.
