At his usual polling place in #Burlington, @BernieSanders, alongside his wife Jane, says this: “I want to make sure we get at least two votes in Vermont.”
FWIW Bernie Sanders drove his own car to his polling place. Check out the sticker on the back.
Bernie Sanders’ polling place in #Burlington, still busy after his departure.
Reminder that Republicans in #Vermont are also holding their presidential primary today.
Here’s the Republican primary sample ballot. @GovBillWeld and Roque “Rocky” de la Fuentes alongside @realDonaldTrump.
And on the Democratic side, the #Vermont sample ballot looks like this. Buttigieg, Castro, Klobuchar, Patrick, Steyer, Williamson, and Yang are all still on the ballot.
A full day of live updates with @AP_GMS begins here. Later, we will be at @BernieSanders’ election night rally here in #Vermont.
A gentleman just drove by after voting, rolled down his window, and proclaimed @BernieSanders to be a communist. Bernie is popular in #Vermont but he does have his critics.
A lady just told me she had just voted for Trump in the Republican Party primary here in #Vermont, saying she’d “never vote for a Socialist.”
We’ll be here all day. Beautiful day to vote in #Vermont.
Putin is not excluding a meeting with Zelensky. From the #Luxembourg PM’s spokesperson after the call:
“Putin says negotiations need to advance further before a meeting with Zelensky is possible. Putin says they are not there yet, without however excluding this path entirely."
BREAKING: shots appear to have been fired at George Floyd Square. Quiet now. People still sheltering in place.
We heard a few dozens sounds of what appear to have been shots fired on this block. Everyone sheltered in place. Lots of running. No apparent need for medics. Will update.
From our vantage point we see one broken window, apparently from one of the shots fired. Consensus among reporters here at George Floyd Square was that we heard anywhere between a dozen and two dozen shots fired.
Marcus Jones of Houston makes his first visit to the place where his school friend George Floyd died. He didn’t know it was the anniversary of his friend’s murder. But this was the day he decided to stop his truck on one of his long-distance drives across the country.
George Floyd Square, on the eve the anniversary of his death at the hands of ex-police officer Derek Chauvin.
The eve of the anniversary of George Floyd’s death.
Court is back in session in the Derek Chauvin trial. The former Minneapolis police officer is in the courtroom, wearing a grey suit and a black mask. Jury selection still set to begin at 9 AM CT.
Jury selection could still be delayed if a higher court decision is made on whether a third degree murder charge will be reinstated. For now, things proceed as set out by the district judge yesterday.
Until 9 AM CT motions can be discussed by attorneys, as is the case right now.
Hello from Minneapolis, and from another building surrounded by fences and barbed wire. The trial of former police officer Derek Chauvin in the killing of George Floyd starts with jury selection this Monday.
