Sanders just dropped below 1600 forecasted delegates on 538

Sanders: 1599
Biden: 1455
Bloomberg: 595
Warren: 243

Joe only trails by 144 delegates. By tomorrow I suspect Biden will take the lead and never look back.

NOTE: Biden + Bloomberg = 2050. A majority.

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

no one has to "Accept" or "Reject" them... they aren't donations to a particular candidate (if they don't mention the candidate)

the Klobuchar delegates to Biden's total, too. Some of Warren's as well, no doubt.

It's looking brighter all the time, innit?
