Joe Biden is too far ahead in delegates for Bernie Sanders to catch him in the race for the Democratic nomination for president.

More significant, Biden is a much better choice to defeat the reckless and self-absorbed President Donald Trump in November.

Voters who haven’t already sent in absentee ballots favoring Biden in Wisconsin’s Democratic primary should do so now. And for the minority of voters who didn’t request an absentee ballot because of the coronavirus by Friday’s extended deadline, we recommend Biden if you cast a ballot Tuesday at the polls. (Madison planned to offer curbside voting for those with underlying health conditions or COVID-19 symptoms, and everyone else should stay 6 feet apart.)….

Sanders calls himself a “democratic socialist,” which won’t play well with most voters. He stubbornly pushes for a progressive, ideological wish list to the detriment of real progress that most Americans can benefit from and accept.

Biden has proven a much more effective leader. Rather than working on the fringe of the Senate, as Sanders does, Biden tries to get things done, often in the sensible center of American politics.
