of mine said otherwise. 🤨

Bernie has 222 of over 1900 delegates to gain. Biden has over 100. Other candidates will drop out soon, and their supporters will shift. It’s early. I would expect Biden to point this out vs. promote a divisive talking point?

based in part, on a largely white electorate. Biden has about 5%. It’s a long way from the convention.
