I HONESTLY am not paying attention to the Bernie pulling out story, he has endorsed Joe, right?

[Eliot Rosewater]

He would have done that in the same speech or whatever when he announced dropping out, right?

Or has he not had a public opportunity yet to endorse him and he is waiting for a town hall or something side by side with Joe?

1. He has not endorsed Joe - yet

He did acknowledge him as the leader, I believe.

But, he also said he's staying on the ballot in upcoming races and encouraged his supporters to still vote for him.

He's trying to have it both ways and it will not work.

A sad finale to his presidential political career.

2. No. BS is staying in the race to "gain leverage".

[Demsrule86]

12. He is not staying in the race and will have very little leverage IMHO.

13. Bernie Sanders Drops Out, But Will Remain On Ballot To Influence Policy Andrea Mitchell MSNBC

BS suspended his campaign, but will remain on the ballot.

14. He remains on state ballots that are printed but he has suspended...he want concessions

in the platform and probably to be put into convention vote. I doesn't matter.

[lapucelle]

16. Isn't that what happened in the summer of 2016, after the primaries were over?

I remember it mattering.

[Demsrule86]

17. No, he went on until June I believe and I don't remember any speech...he just stopped running.

I think it is different this year because Sanders has less support, Biden is a good candidate ...Comey ET Al destroyed Hillary. And we barely lost last time...this time we have Trump busily killing off Americans...I think this may be like 2008 only more so.

[lapucelle]

18. It is exactly what happened in the summer of 2016 in the run-up to the convention

and at the convention itself.

Hopefully BS will endorse and campaign for Biden well in advance of the convention.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. No, he has not. Instead, he's going to remain on the convention ballot

so as to keep his delegates as "leverage."

[George II]

4. MSNBC has reported that he won't immediately endorse Biden. So, we have ONE candidate....

...and a former candidate is refusing to endorse him.

What does that tell us?

[Tom Rinaldo]

8. Nothing of any importance

Bernie is not opposing and competing with Biden, that is what matters now. It is April and we only have one candidate actively running for President. We officially have our presumptive nominee.

[Hortensis]

11. :) Deja vu all over again? Well, assuming other actions

don't signal his intentions before then (expect they will, tho), we could always wait to see what kind of delegates he chooses for the convention. Will he choose from among his good Democrats, who'll have a hug-fest with Biden's delegates, or from his "lock her up!" hostiles like last time?

[Doreen]

5. He said he would if it came down to just Biden but I do not think he will.

[Mike 03]

6. I have the answer to your question, but I don't want to give it to you

because there's no point in upsetting you. Things are difficult and we have enough to worry about.

Bad news isn't good for the immune system.

[Eliot Rosewater]

9. Great answer

[SCantiGOP]

7. Why are you asking, if you're not paying attention?

[Eliot Rosewater]

10. I usually ignore posts like this, implying that I have an ulterior motive.

There are OTHER things to pay attention to now, like not dying...making homemade masks...

Your response is really annoying.

I said I was being sincere, if I have EARNED anything around here it is that I am honest...period.

15. Has Warren?
