Who will be the next to drop out? And when?

Let's assume Sanders/Biden are the top two in Nevada and Biden/Sanders are the top two in SC. Will any of the other candidates drop out before Super Tuesday? Or will they all stay in through that point?

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

8. Steyer basically went all-in in Nevada and South Carolina.

So, I can see why he is still in the race. I am hoping that if he doesn't do well in those two races, he will drop out before Super Tuesday, but I'm also a little worried that he could actually do reasonably well in those states (maybe a surprise top three finish), which he would then use to justify remaining in through Super Tuesday at least.

i'm hoping a couple of them get out before super tuesday. consolidate after sc if they want to stop bernie. i think if it looks like bloomie is gonna catch fire, it prolly doesnt matter.
if pete gets clobbered, or amy doesnt keep it up, i hope they read the writing on the wall and unite.

i sure hope bernie doesnt end up limping into mke w 30%.

I'm not optimistic about my preferred candidate. But Super Tuesday hasn't happened yet. So I'm not giving up.

11. It makes it hard for our Democrats to drop out. Many are saying Harris got out too soon.
