23. Sure, but probably not.

The current prediction is 88% that Biden will have a majority of delegates before the convention and 538 says that the prediction is probably a little conservative. If Biden finishes this off in the coming weeks, focus will shift to November and the Warren/Sanders brouhaha will be long forgotten.

I doubt either Biden or Warren is going to do anything to cause friction in that time, reports of their relationship during the Obama administration notwithstanding. It's not 2014 anymore. Sanders might try to introduce some token friction about "rigging" or whatever, but I think there's going to be little or no tolerance for the kind of nonsense that happened in 2016. This election is too important.

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