4. More evidence that not all Sanders votes would otherwise go to Warren.

As the Morning Consult "2nd choice" polls seem to consistently say, Sanders supporters are roughly evenly split between Biden and Warren as their second choice. I guess Warren makes more sense in terms of positions, but Biden benefits from the perception of greater electability (Biden and Sanders always seem to come out top two on that metric). Biden and Sanders also have the best name recognition. And yeah, there are probably some who prefer not to choose a woman, whether out of fear that that's one of the things that cost us votes in 2016, or misogyny, whatever...

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