Related: About this forumNow this is an interesting thought.........
This is 538's forecast of delegates before yesterday's primary results and Bloomberg's withdrawal. They've frozen their updates until last night's results are final, but could it be that Biden now will easily pass that magical "MAJORITY" line well before the Convention since Bloomberg has endorsed him?
Parenthetically, who winds up with Gabbard's two delegates?

....might wind up being won by Biden since Bloomberg endorsed Biden.
Say Biden gets even half of those, added to Biden's 1735 puts him well over the needed 1991. And that 1735 was before last night's results.
This could be over in a week.
