The first three nomination races have not gone well for former Vice President Joe Biden. The once frontrunner for the Democratic nomination has struggled to attract voters to the polls thus far. But Saturday’s primary in South Carolina could be what the doctor ordered for an ailing campaign. Or it could be what brings the campaign to a halt going into Super Tuesday. POLLS CLOSE AT 7 P.M. ET ON SATURDAY.South Carolina represents the most delegates (54) that have been up for grabs in a nominating race so far. It is also far more diverse than Iowa and New Hampshire. While Biden was hopeful a more diverse electorate would improve his fortunes in Nevada, he watched as Sen. Bernie Sanders won in convincing fashion last week. Still, Nevada was Biden’s best performance of the three races so far, but his second-place finish only showed how much ground he has lost to Sanders. DELEGATE COUNT THROUGH FEB. 28:SANDERS: 45BUTTIGIEG: 26BIDEN: 15WARREN: 8KLOBUCHAR: 71991 NEEDED TO WIN THE NOMINATIONPolling for Saturday’s primary indicates South Carolina could put Biden back into the mix as Democrats prepare for the most important night of the nomination on Tuesday. Monmouth University released a South Carolina primary poll on Thursday indicating Biden was leading the pack with 36%. The poll showed that Sanders and Tom Steyer were jockeying for second with 16% and 15% respectively. 15% is a key figure for the race as it is the threshold to receive delegates – anything less results in a goose egg. Helping Biden’s standing with the black vote was this week’s endorsement from Rep. Jim Clyburn. Clyburn, the third-most powerful Democrat in the House, has been one of South Carolina’s most recognizable Democrats for decades. “I know Joe Biden. I know his character, his heart, and his record. Joe Biden has stood for the hard-working people of South Carolina. We know Joe. But more importantly, he knows us,” Clyburn told voters this week. Following Saturday’s race is Super Tuesday when one-third of all delegates are up for grabs. The night could be intriguing for several reasons. One is the foray of Mike Bloomberg into the race. He sat out the first four nominating contests, and has spent a fortune of his own money to advertise in delegate-rich states such as Texas and California. Super Tuesday also could provide clarity on which candidate or candidates will take on Sanders deep into the nominating race. Finally, it could give an indication on whether Democrats need to prepare for a brokered convention. As Democrats allocate delegates proportionally, having a candidate such as Sanders come away with a majority of the delegates by July's convention could be a challenge. 2701

The lives of the rich and famous are about to get a lot less smoky after the Beverly Hills City Council voted to ban the retail sale of most tobacco products Tuesday night in a first-of-its-kind ordinance. The law will go into effect New Year's Day in 2021.The retail sale of cigarettes, cigars, pipe tobacco, chewing tobacco and electronic cigarettes sold in gas stations, convenience stores, pharmacies and grocery stores will be banned. This is the first U.S. city to end most tobacco sales.There are some exceptions though — existing cigar lounges can still operate and hotels will be able to sell cigarettes and other items to its guests."We pride ourselves on being a healthy city and I feel so proud that we are really about to prove that we are taking steps to be among the healthiest city in the world," said Council Member Lili Bosse. Beverly Hills was the first city in California to ban smoking inside restaurants and most public places back in 1987. 979

The Cherokee Nation has named an official representative to Congress for the first time.Kimberly Teehee, executive director of government relations for the Cherokee Nation, was approved by the Council of the Cherokee Nation as a delegate to the US House of Representatives on Thursday, fulfilling a promise made to the tribe in a nearly 200-year-old treaty with the federal government.A former senior policy adviser for Native American Affairs during President Barack Obama's administration, she was nominated by Chuck Hoskin Jr., chief principal of the Cherokee Nation. She is also a former senior adviser to the US House Native American Caucus Co-Chair former Rep. Dale Kildee and has held various positions within the Cherokee Nation.The treaty doesn't specify if Teehee would be a voting member of the legislature, and her appointment requires congressional approval. But Hoskin said her role may be similar to those who represent Washington, DC, and five US territories -- Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the US Virgin Islands and the Northern Mariana islands -- who can't vote on the House floor but can introduce legislation, vote in their respective committees and debate on the floor.Teehee said in a statement to CNN on Tuesday she is "humbled" to be nominated for an "extraordinary responsibility" and is grateful for an opportunity to serve the Cherokee Nation."This journey is just beginning and we have a long way to go to see this through to fruition," she said. "However, a Cherokee Nation delegate to Congress is a negotiated right that our ancestors advocated for, and today, our tribal nation is stronger than ever and ready to defend all our constitutional and treaty rights. It's just as important in 2019 as it was in our three treaties."Teehee's historic nomination stems from a 1835 Treaty of New Echota in which the Cherokee were forced to leave their homes in the Southeast and go to present-day Oklahoma in exchange for money and other compensation. Nearly 4,000 citizens of the tribe died from disease, starvation and exhaustion on the journey known today as the Trail of Tears. As a way to compensate the tribe, the US government promised them a delegate in the House of Representatives.Hoskin Jr. said Teehee is "extremely qualified" for the position and, through her nomination, the Cherokee Nation is "exercising our treaty rights and strengthening our sovereignty.""We know this is just the beginning and there is much work ahead, but we are being thorough in terms of implementation and ask our leaders in Washington to work with us through this process and on legislation that provides the Cherokee Nation with the delegate to which we are lawfully entitled," he said in a statement to CNN on Tuesday.Victoria Vazquez, deputy speaker of the council, said Teehee's political experience made her confirmation as delegate an "easy decision.""Ms. Teehee has a wealth of experience working in Washington, DC with representatives from both sides of the aisle. She also has a storied career of advocating and working on issues for both the Cherokee Nation and Indian Country in general," Vazquez said. "These two attributes make her appointment as the first-ever delegate an easy decision and I am happy to support her nomination and Chief Hoskin's efforts to exercise our treaty rights." 3331

The feel-good story of how Cambodia allowed a cruise ship to dock after it was turned away elsewhere in Asia for fear of spreading a new disease took an unfortunate turn after a passenger later tested positive for the virus.News over the weekend that an 83-year-old American woman who was on the ship and flew from Cambodia to Malaysia was found to be carrying the virus froze further movement of the passengers and crew of the Westerdam. Some are in hotels in Cambodia’s capital, Phnom Penh, while others are still aboard the ship.The American woman was among several hundred passengers who were flown out of Cambodia on Friday and Saturday. According to authorities in Malaysia, 143 continued their flights home from that country, while the woman and her 84-year-old husband, who was diagnosed with pneumonia, remained behind for treatment.The dispersal around the world of passengers from the ship with possible exposure to the new coronavirus has sparked concern.“I think now given that there is a confirmed case that is suspected to have acquired infection on board the ship, the other passengers should be asked to quarantine themselves at home and alert health authorities if they develop fever or respiratory symptoms within the 14 days since disembarkation,” said Professor Benjamin Cowling from the School of Public Health at Hong Kong University.Dr. Gagandeep Kang, executive director of India’s Translational Health Science and Technology Institute, said it is unclear whether the woman’s infection would result in an outbreak in another part of the world. The virus that causes the disease named COVID-19 has been confirmed in about two dozen countries, with most cases concentrated in China, where it emerged in December. “We will have to wait and see,” she said, adding that it would depend on where the woman got the infection, and at what stage of the infection she was in while in contact with other people.The ship’s operator, Holland America Line, said in a statement Monday that Cambodian health officials were on the ship testing the 255 guests and 747 crew who were awaiting clearance, and that guests currently staying at a Phnom Penh hotel had all been tested.“At this time, no other guests or crew on board or at the hotel have reported any symptoms of the illness. Guests who have already returned home will be contacted by their local health department and provided further information,” it said.The statement added that the virus patient had not reported any illness to the Westerdam’s medical center during the cruise. Twenty people who reported illness while on board have tested negative for the virus, it said. The rest of the passengers and crew had health checks that included filling out a written health questionnaire and having their temperatures checked, which has become standard procedure for air and sea passengers considered at risk.Several Westerdam passengers from the United States and elsewhere have already returned home and spoken to the media.Two of the passengers, Joseph Schaeffer and his wife, Paulette, a retired nurse, told the Las Vegas Review-Journal from their home in Henderson, Nevada, that they felt the hue and cry over the released passengers was not totally merited.“It doesn’t seem to me that the whole world should be jumping at this,” Joseph Schaeffer said. “There are more deaths from the flu than there have been from this particular virus,” his wife said.The couple said they were screened on their way home at airports in Phnom Penh and Singapore by thermal scanners that remotely monitor arriving passengers.On arrival in Los Angeles, they said, they were among a large crowd getting screened that included fellow cruise passengers. They said they answered questions gfrom the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that included whether they felt sick, had visited mainland China or knew anyone who had contracted the virus.Two Canadians who returned via Vancouver International Airport were asked to put on protective face masks on arrival but were not otherwise isolated, Canada’s CBC News reported.“We were asked a few questions and filled out an immigration form, and they very nicely helped us bypass the usual lineups and let us out the door,” said Joseph Hansen, who took the cruise with his wife. “We’re feeling fine.”Hansen, from Surrey, British Columbia, told CBC that he did not hear about the American woman in Malaysia with the virus until he landed in Vancouver on Sunday.“I guess on the one hand it’s upsetting to know that there was one case, but we’re feeling fine,” he said. “We’ve had health scans, temperature scans and we don’t have any concerns for our own health.”Cambodia’s government had originally earned kudos from the head of the U.N.’s World Health Organization and the U.S. ambassador there for allowing the ship to dock at Sihanoukville after it was turned away by Japan, Taiwan, the Philippines, Guam and Thailand.The move was seen as a victory for the image of Cambodia’s authoritarian leader, who welcomed the ship’s passengers with handshakes and flowers. Prime Minister Hun Sen boasted that although Cambodia is a poor country, it “has always joined the international community to solve the problems that the world and our region are facing.” WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus had said he was pleased Cambodia had agreed to accept the Westerdam and described it as an example of the international solidarity advocated by the U.N. health agency.“The one thing I can say is we’re very, very grateful that Cambodia has opened literally its ports and its doors to people in need,” U.S. Ambassador to Cambodia W. Patrick Murphy said Saturday when he took his family to the port to meet passengers. “We think this sends a strong message. We all have to help each other.”In hindsight, however, Cambodia’s handling of the ship’s passengers has been criticized on social media, though it also has gotten some support.According to Cowling, the Hong Kong University professor, it’s a good idea to let passengers leave and monitor them after disembarkation.Since there were no known cases on board the Westerdam at the time passengers left the ship, it was reasonable to allow them to travel home, he said.“I think it would not be appropriate to keep passengers on the ship for 14 days, as it could be a high-risk environment,” Cowling said. “We have seen the consequences of holding passengers on a cruise ship with the Diamond Princess outbreak,” he said, referring to another cruise ship that is quarantined in Yokohama, Japan, with hundreds of cases among the passengers.___Ng reported from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and Peck reported from Bangkok.
