Bloomberg is constraining Biden. If she eliminates Bloomberg, that directly helps Biden massively, pushing him past Sanders. The Bloomberg votes certainly WILL NOT go to Sanders, so the more she reduces Bloomberg, the more she helps Biden.

I think that she realizes that she is done, but that Bloomberg is hurting Biden. Based upon hints that she has gave, she seems to be worried about the socialist thing with Sanders.

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