4月8日，美国参议员伯尼·桑德斯退出总统竞选，这意味着11月的美国大选很可能是民主党候选人乔·拜登与现任总统特朗普二人之争。桑德斯曾一举拿下2月最先投票的三个州，表现强劲，此后运气急转直下，以退出竞选告终。尽管桑德斯已于8日明确表示他视拜登为民主党提名的候选人，但他说自己仍将参加尚未投票的几个州的初选，以此影响民主党方针，继续传达他的观点。医保和气候变化等民主党基础议题是桑德斯竞选的核心，拜登很可能需要就这些议题下更大力气，表达自己的政治主张。

US Sen.Bernie Sanders ended his presidential campaign last Wednesday, clearing the way for a general election in November between the presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden, and the incumbent president Donald Trump. Sanders’ exit caps a stunning reversal of fortune following a strong performance in the first three states that voted in February. Though Mr. Sanders made it clear last Wednesday that he viewed Mr. Biden as the party’s 2020 nominee, he said he would remain on theballot in states that still have primaries—a move that could give him leverage to influence the Democratic platform and continue carrying his message. Mr. Biden will likely need to do more to articulate an agenda on foundational Democratic issues like health care and climate change, which are central to Sanders’ candidacy.

美国联邦储备局主席杰·鲍威尔表示，美联储将“大力、主动、积极”地运用其职能，直至美国经济从新冠疫情的冲击中复苏。央行拿出额外2.3万亿美元贷款，支持高收益公司债券市场。鲍威尔的声明发表之际，新冠大流行病对美国经济的剧烈冲击已然凸显——有数据显示，上周美国有660万人申请失业补助，疫情引发停工潮以来，美国新增失业人口总数目前已达1700万。此前，美联储已将利率大幅下调，达到接近零的水平，并通过大量购买国债和有政府担保的抵押贷款支持证券，大幅扩表。

Jay Powell, the Fed chairman, said the Federal Reserve would use its powers “forcefully, proactively and aggressively” until the economy recovers from the coronavirus shock, as the US central bank moved to offer an extra $2.3tn in credit and support the market for high-yield corporate debt. Mr. Powell’s announcement came as the economic damage inflicted by the coronavirus pandemic was highlighted by data showing that 6.6m people filed for jobless benefits in the US in the past week, bringing the total of America’s newly unemployed to 17m since the cascade of business shutdowns caused by the virus. The Fed has already slashed interest rates close to zero and expanded its balance sheet in a big way by buying up Treasury debt and government-guaranteed mortgage-backed securities.
