Biden Is Already Appealing to Sanders Supporters [View all]

It seems inevitable that Bernie Sanders will recognize that there is no longer any viable path for him to the nomination. He will withdraw from the race soon, I believe. Whether he enthusiastically endorses Joe Biden is something that remains to be seen.

However, I'm sure most of his current supporters will gladly support VP Biden as soon as Senator Sanders withdraws. Their support will be very welcome and will help us to defeat Donald J. Trump in November.

Here are the current stats from The Green Papers:

Pledged Delegate Count

Biden - 1178
Sanders - 884

Popular vote:

Biden - 9,990,332 40.91%
Sanders - 7,500,662 30.72%

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
