You won’t hear Elizabeth Warren say it, but allies at a national progressive group working closely with her campaign will: Joe Biden supporters “are ready to bolt.”

That’s part of the premise behind a new effort by the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, launched on Monday morning, to highlight and collect information from Democratic primary voters who previously supported another candidate or identified as undecided, but made the move to Warren after seeing her “in action” on the trail.

Adam Green, the co-founder of the PCCC, a Washington-based organization that has partnered with Warren since she entered politics as a 2012 Senate candidate, said that their “Switch to Warren” push will focus in large part on Biden supporters concerned most about nominating the candidate best positioned to defeat President Trump.

“They don't need an excuse,” Green said of Biden voters, citing Warren’s recent rise in the polls. “The moment they get a sense that he's not the best to go against Trump, they won't need any further permission to leave Biden for somebody else.”

1. Well, here's one that won't.

Because Biden is the one to beat orange anal.

2. Sounds like wishful thinking.

I don't doubt that there will be a lot of movement in the coming months, but I think it's probably wishful thinking to believe Biden supporters are just going to bail on him on a whim or because they suddenly decide he's not the best candidate to beat Trump.

3. Really? WTF

Warren has a great record to stand on and promote for her campaign. The people who are going to target Biden and his supporters are going to ruin her chances.

4. Warren may not be to blame, but if it's done on her behalf, I predict it will backfire big time. nt

5. They tried this in 2016

Did not work

6. If I "bolted" it wouldn't be to Warren

I'd go to Harris or even Beto who I think have a better chance of beating Trump.
