Can Joe Biden Stop Bernie Sanders? Establishment Lines Up Behind Former VP, But Is It Too Late?

Millions of voters in 14 states are heading to the polls today for Super Tuesday, as Democratic centrists coalesce around former Vice President Joe Biden as their best shot to defeat front-runner Bernie Sanders. Just ahead of the most decisive day of the 2020 Democratic presidential primary, Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar suspended her campaign and endorsed Biden on Monday. Her endorsement came one day after former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg dropped out of the race. Both joined Biden on the campaign trail in Texas on Sunday. This comes as former New York City mayor and billionaire Michael Bloomberg — who has also presented himself as an alternative to Sanders — will be on the ballot for the first time, after passing half a billion dollars in campaign ad spending last week. Super Tuesday could also prove decisive for Elizabeth Warren, whose home state of Massachusetts heads to the polls today. We speak with Ryan Grim, D.C. bureau chief for The Intercept. His recent book is titled “We’ve Got People: From Jesse Jackson to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the End of Big Money and the Rise of a Movement.”

The DNC wreaks of desperation. So pathetic.

Biden is losing his mind. It's sad. There have been so many gaffes.

I'm retired, on medicare, financially secure, and I already graduated college so why pick Bernie? Because a healthy, educated middle class is good for the country. Bernie 2020!

The longer Warren stays in, the less respect I have for her. Her agenda at this point is clear.

Elizabeth Warren needs to drop out and endorse Bernie. If not, she has completely turned into an insider and we need to vote her out next time.

[stephankyle]

Skills by Amy at the end there. She should try rapping.

[nalapavo]

You need to bring the truth about Biden and his corrupt policies ASAP.

[JoeJ]

Wow ! What is happening to the Democratic Party? Shedding it’s Republican like policies is a good thing! Go Bernie !

[SimpleEnglishHub-]

How can someone like Amy K rose to high office and become a senator....and they talk about decency, character and still try to sway votes away from the common good- leaving candidacy just a day before big Tuesday- playing her real role perfectly.

I'm concerned about Texas voting sites
