I wouldn't be shocked if he announced he was dropping out but he went back to Vermont for the same reason Biden went to Philadelphia - they had no rallies to attend. Sanders was originally scheduled to speak in Ohio before they called off public events. Had they not asked to cancel large public events (from the governor), I doubt he goes back to Vermont.

My guess is that Sanders will say he's still in it and that there's still states left to vote and he's looking forward to debating Biden on who is best equipped to lead the party versus Trump.

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

I hope he's out, but with that ego, he may think he can turn it around with his mad debating skills. Native Mar 2020 #11
