From the article:

Bernie’s advisers say Biden hasn’t done enough to unify the party, or generate voter enthusiasm.

This is not a position supported by the primary results. Biden has won in the south and the north; the east coast and the north-west. When you win Florida by more than 60% of the vote, you’ve pretty much unified the party. When you drive record turnout in the middle of a pandemic – which is frankly a reckless situation from a public health perspective – then you have reasonably generated voter enthusiasm.

By any measure, Biden can feel confident in turning towards the general election and, more importantly, beyond that: to the historic challenge of pulling this country, and the rest of the world, out of a pandemic and global recession.


Thanks for the link, Arenean.

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