Let’s tackle that first scenario — something happens to either Biden or Trump before their respective conventions. In the case of the Democratric nomination, that would all of a sudden open up the race, according to Lara Brown, director of the Graduate School of Political Management at George Washington University. The delayed primaries would become far more relevant, and this could create a free-for-all with Sen. Bernie Sanders and the other candidates. “Let’s face it, none of the candidates have officially withdrawn,” said Brown. “They’ve all just suspended [their campaigns].”

But if tragedy didn’t strike until the convention, Biden delegates would have to choose someone else to support.1 Richard Pildes, a constitutional law professor at the New York University School of Law, stressed, however, that even under normal circumstances, the Democratic delegates are technically free “on the first ballot to vote their conscience.” As for the GOP convention rules, Pildes told me they specifically bind the delegates, and as Trump is the only candidate who will really have delegates, the party might need to issue an “interpretation” of the rules or even vote to change them to deal with this unforeseen situation.

Did all those boots on the ground just shakedown Soros

First, we would like to reassure all our grantees that the Open Society Foundations are in a stable financial situation. There is no reason for you to be concerned that we will be unable to meet our obligations to you.

Second, Open Society will defer to its grantees to make their own risk-based assessments about whether and how to alter activities in response to COVID-19. The Foundations do not want to place any more burdens on grantees whose work has been adversely impacted by the pandemic. In the coming weeks and months, we will reach out to better understand the impact of the public health crisis on your work.

Third, on a case-by-case basis, our program officers and directors are prepared to consider sympathetically any requests you make for adjustments to allow you to use funds to cover unanticipated costs related to preparedness, response, or risk mitigation associated with this health emergency, or to cover other penalties incurred, as a result of cancelled activities.

If grantees find that it is more costly to implement an Open Society grant due to the coronavirus health emergency, they should work with their program officers to assess whether there is funding to cover these unforeseen costs.

“This is the first step of our ongoing response to address the economic and political dislocation wrought by this disease,” added Patrick Gaspard, president of the Open Society Foundations. “Our emergency relief efforts will support our grantees to immediately reach those who cannot access aid through government systems. But just as critically, we aim to ensure that the centers of power never again allow those who are the backbone of our economies to suffer in the shadows.”

“Thanks to the Arab spring and the West fighting all these rulers for us, we had enough time to grow and recruit in the Middle East, Europe and the U.S,” Abu Farouk said. Then he paused for some seconds and smiled. “Actually, we should say, thank you, Mr. President.”
