Live updates for Tuesday, June 2, continue below:

Trump, Biden win Pennsylvania primary amid unrest, pandemic

Update 11:30 p.m. EDT June 2: Pennsylvania held a primary election Tuesday amid civil unrest, a pandemic, the introduction of new voting machines in some counties and the debut of mail-in balloting that pushed county election bureaus to their limits.

The result of the highest-profile contest on the ballot was a foregone conclusion: President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden, uncontested for their party’s nominations, both won their primary Tuesday in Pennsylvania.

The lack of drama in the outcome of the presidential primary and the huge number of voters who opted to vote by mail meant turnout was light.

Still, voters in some places were dealing with late-arriving mail-in ballots and a dramatic consolidation of polling places in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Montgomery County to cope with the difficulty of recruiting poll workers fearful of the coronavirus.

Ultimately, more than 1.8 million voters applied for a mail-in or absentee ballot, smashing expectations by state officials for the debut of the state’s new vote-by-mail law and drawing warnings that many contest results will be delayed well past election night.

Officials in Philadelphia and its suburbs, in particular, had been concerned that voters wouldn’t receive their ballots in time for the post office to return them by Tuesday’s 8 p.m. deadline

Trump says GOP is pulling convention from North Carolina

Update 9:30 p.m. EDT June 2: President Donald Trump said Tuesday he is seeking a new state to host the Republican National Convention after host North Carolina refused to guarantee the event could be held in Charlotte without restrictions because of ongoing concerns over the coronavirus.

Trump tweeted the news Tuesday night, complaining that the state’s governor, Democrat Roy Cooper, other officials “refuse to guarantee that we can have use of the Spectrum Arena” and were not “allowing us to occupy the arena as originally anticipated and promised.”

Texas virus cases rise again after one-day dropoff

Update 8:30 p.m. EDT June 2: The day after one of Texas’ lowest new coronavirus case counts in six weeks, state health officials reported a spike of 1,688 new cases Tuesday.

The figures came after just 593 were reported Monday, which was a dramatic decrease after a week that saw Texas twice hit new record highs. Sunday’s count of 1,949 cases is the highest one-day total since the state began tracking the numbers.

Texas has reported 66,568 total infections, including 1,688 deaths. State health officials reported 20 new fatalities Tuesday. The true number is likely higher because many people have not been tested, and studies suggest people can be infected and not feel sick.

Arkansas reports another 1-day record in new virus cases

Update 7:20 p.m. EDT June 2: Arkansas on Tuesday marked another one-day record for new coronavirus cases, and the governor said plans to further loosen restrictions on businesses remained on hold because of the spike.

The Health Department said at least 7,818 people tested positive for the virus, an increase of 375 over the 7,443 reported Monday. The department said it marked the biggest one-day increase in cases among non-incarcerated people, as only one of the new cases was somebody who was incarcerated.

The true number is likely higher because many people have not been tested, and studies suggest people can be infected and not feel sick. The number of people in the state who were reported to have died from COVID-19, the illness caused by the virus, reached 136.

Officials said 132 people are hospitalized, a new high for the state.

The increases follow moves by the state to allow businesses that have closed because of the pandemic to reopen but with capacity limits and other restrictions. Arkansas did not have a stay-at-home order in place but had other restrictions Gov. Asa Hutchinson has been rolling back in recent weeks.

Senate confirms special watchdog for pandemic recovery

Update 6:20 p.m. EDT June 2: The Senate has confirmed a new inspector general to oversee money distributed as part of the $2 trillion economic rescue law, putting at least one watchdog in place as oversight of the money has lagged.

The Senate confirmed Brian Miller, a lawyer in the White House counsel’s office, on a 51-40 vote Tuesday. Democrats voted against Miller after questioning his independence from President Donald Trump, who nominated him for the post.

Responding to those concerns, Miller told the Senate Banking Committee during his confirmation hearing last month that “independence is vital” for the special inspector general for pandemic recovery. He pledged to conduct audits and investigations “with fairness and impartiality.” The post would place him in charge of overseeing a roughly $500 billion Treasury fund for businesses and localities created as part of the economic rescue law approved in March.

Republicans pointed to his previous experience as an independent watchdog. Miller has worked at the Justice Department and was inspector general for nearly a decade at the General Services Administration, which oversees thousands of federal contracts. Miller helped force out the GSA’s director during President George W. Bush’s administration, drawing criticism from the White House and Republican lawmakers.

But most Democrats weren’t convinced, with only one – Alabama Sen. Doug Jones – voting for him. Another Democratic moderate, West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, said in a statement that he voted against Miller because “I believe his current role in the Office of White House Counsel and relationship with the president makes it impossible for him to remain independent as he investigates the administration’s response to the pandemic.”

As Miller assumes the post, he will be one of the sole checks on the massive pot of money as other oversight bodies set up in the law have foundered. The Pandemic Recovery Accountability Committee, a committee of inspectors general, still has no leader after Trump sidelined the original chairman, Glenn Fine, by demoting him. A bipartisan congressional commission is also rudderless as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., have not yet agreed upon and appointed a chair, as the law directs them to do.

Number of new COVID-19 cases in Massachusetts jumps under new reporting system

Update 3:05 p.m. EDT June 2: Officials with the Massachusetts Department of Public Health reported 3,840 new coronavirus cases statewide Tuesday, a sharp jump that officials said was explained by a change in how coronavirus case numbers are being reported, WFXT reported.

According to WFXT, the cases are defined by the CDC as people who have had COVID-19 symptoms and were exposed to a positive case with or without positive results from an antibody test.

As of Tuesday, authorities said 7,035 people have died statewide from COVID-19. Officials said 100,805 people have been diagnosed with coronavirus infections in Massachusetts.
