wants to mitigate the blow-outs against him by appearing to have dropped out, while he is still collecting delegates.

The blowouts in favor of Biden were what put the count out of reach for Sanders.

Sanders knows his supporters will still show up, but other voters might take him at his word that he is out, when he pretty much isn't if he still is advocating for delegates. That would close the blowout delegate count in Sanders favor. I hope I'm wrong, but that is what it kinda looks like.

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