Indiana becomes seventh state to postpone presidential primary

Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb announced that his state was postponing its May 5 primary until June 2, making it the seventh state to postpone its presidential primary due to the spread of the coronavirus.

"It needed to be pushed back in order to, again, ensure the safety of our county employees, our poll workers and the voters themselves," Holcomb said in a Friday press conference.

Indiana joins six other states who have already postponed their elections: Connecticut, Georgia, Louisiana, Kentucky, Maryland and Ohio.
