| Bernie Sanders | 37.3% | |
| Elizabeth Warren | 31.2 | |
| Joe Biden | 14.0 | |

Andrea Mitchell asked an interesting question of Biden, along the lines of, “Is your theory of Republicans working with you in office at all invalidated by Republicans supporting an investigation of you and your son?” He pivoted to his ability to win the election and win a Democratic majority in the Senate. But I wish he had answered that question.
Everyone has their own way of pivoting from impeachment to “the people!” Harris just followed Sanders, Warren and Klobuchar in doing so.
