This is the first thing to go Sanders’ way in a while.
Clearly this is some sort of progressive alliance in order to help Sanders overcome all the momentum that Biden has seen in the last several days, starting with South Carolina and culminating with a huge 10 state win (out of 14) on Super Tuesday.
Will it work? Warren’s support is so low that it won’t help in states where Biden wins by a landslide. But in close states like Texas it could help give Sanders the advantage.
