Meanwhile, White House Health Advisor Anthony Fauci estimated the United States could see a slight outbreak decay next week and New York Mayor Bill De Blasio revealed some positive news.

However, Sanders’ getting out of the race wasn’t exactly unexpected. Last month, a report claimed Sanders would drop out of the 2020 race for the Democratic Party presidential candidate. Now, the Vermont Senator cleared the way for Joe Biden who will face President Donald Trump in November.

Facebook Inc (NASDAQ: FB) grew by 2.12% to $172.40. We expect FB shares to take a further beating when the company reports earnings on April 22.
