Reid served as chairman of the Nevada Gaming Commission from 1977 to 1981. When Jack Gordon, La Toya Jackson's future agent and husband, offered Reid a $12,000 bribe to get approval of new games for casinos, Reid brought in the FBI to tape Gordon's bribery attempt and arrest him. After FBI agents interrupted the transaction, as prearranged, Reid lost his temper and attempted to choke Gordon, saying "You son of a bitch, you tried to bribe me!" before agents stopped him.

I really love seeing what are normally self-centered politicians putting aside their differences and dropping out so that they can stop the biggest money machine in Democratic history. It's like Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.

https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2020-03-01/pete-buttigieg-tom-steyer-drop-out-california-primary-early-voting
Quote
There may be plenty of second chances in life, but there are very few when it comes to voting — a bitter pill to swallow for those Californians who voted for any of the presidential candidates who dropped out before Tuesday’s statewide election.

The sudden exit from the race Sunday by Pete Buttigieg, former mayor of South Bend, Ind., sparked some brief interest on social media about the rules governing a possible revote. No doubt similar questions were raised by those who cast early absentee ballots for Tom Steyer, the billionaire climate change activist who left the race Saturday.

The answer, in a word: no. There’s no provision in California election law for a second chance once a ballot has been mailed or cast in person at a polling place or regional vote center.

“Once you vote, you vote,” said Kim Alexander, president of the nonpartisan California Voter Foundation. “There’s no do-over.”

Other candidates have also dropped out since the first ballots were mailed out more than a month ago. Entrepreneur Andrew Yang abandoned his White House bid Feb. 11, almost two weeks after some California counties began mailing out ballots. Of the 20 Democrats whose names appear on the ballot, almost half have formally suspended their campaigns since late December, when the list was certified by state elections officials.
Quote
Some voters openly speculated Sunday on social media whether they could simply go to a local election site and cast a second ballot, even though they had already voted by mail. In many cases, that second ballot would cancel the first one out when elections officials entered the information into their systems. But in all cases, a voter choosing to do so could be accused of violating California election law.

“The second ballot puts a voter at risk of being accused of trying to vote twice,” Alexander said.

California still has closed primaries for presidential elections. You have to be a registered dem or republican in order to pick presidential candidates. Everything else is based on jungle primaries so top 2 goes to the Nov. elections.

It's not a totally closed primary you just have to request it:
Voters who registered to vote without stating a political party preference are known as No Party Preference (NPP) voters.  NPP voters were formerly known as "decline-to-state" or “DTS” voters.

For presidential primary elections: NPP voters will receive a “non-partisan” ballot that does not include presidential candidates.  A nonpartisan ballot contains only the names of candidates for voter-nominated offices and local nonpartisan offices and measures. However, NPP voters may vote in a political party's partisan election if the political party, by party rule duly noticed to the Secretary of State, authorizes NPP voters to vote in the next presidential primary election. An NPP voter may request the ballot of one of the political parties, if any, that authorizes NPP voters to vote in the presidential primary election.

The following parties have notified the Secretary of State that they will allow No Party Preference voters to request their party’s presidential ballot in the March 3, 2020, Presidential Primary Election:

American Independent Party
Democratic Party
Libertarian Party

Unlike the voters mentioned above, bluemax I'm going to say that if you go to your polling place, request a Democratic ballot and vote solely for President, it won't be considered voting twice. Just really don't vote for anything else. If you haven't returned your other ballot then definitely no prob.

edit: it's understandable if you don't want to risk it though

I don't know about a recession, but between tax cuts and tariffs it's like Trump's testing whether the government can still manufacture inflation.

Biden's not the only one with endorsements:
Quote
American Samoan chief Fa’alagiga Nina Tua’au-Glaude on Monday endorsed Michael Bloomberg for president, a day ahead of the U.S. territory’s Super Tuesday vote.

The chief, who was a delegate for President Obama at the 2008 Democratic National Convention, said he believes in Bloomberg’s "message of change for the people of American Samoa."

"I believe in Mike's message of change for the people of American Samoa — he has the experience and the vision to bring about the change we need — including staving off climate change, which will be devastating to our home. He has my family's vote, and my village,” the chief said, according to a campaign release.

The former New York City mayor dedicated resources to the territory in the South Pacific, including employing seven full-time staff t here. The campaign is also airing television ads, radio ads and targeted digital and print ads in the territory.

At least credit the creator smh:
Lieberman says he's got the 'Joementum'
'I think it's going to keep building to a surprising finish'
Monday, January 26, 2004 Posted: 3:26 AM EST (0826 GMT)

(CNN) -- Buoyed by a rise in the latest CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll two days before the New Hampshire primary, Sen. Joe Lieberman said Sunday his campaign is gaining support, especially from independents, that will propel him to victory nationwide.

Writing off speculation that he may make a poor showing in New hampshire and drop out of the race, Lieberman told CNN's Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer that his campaign is picking up, as he put it, "Joementum."

"The experts were saying this guy is nowhere in the race. Since the debate Thursday night, the people of New Hampshire are making up their minds. And you know what? They're sick of the outside experts telling them who's going to do what in this primary on Tuesday," he said. "Thank God they have the last word."
