So does that mean the only incentive for Sanders to drop out now is if he does so poorly that Biden can basically start to ignore him?

Amelia, the coronavirus is a good point and theoretically something that could reset the Democratic primary race. But polls suggest that voters trust Biden more to handle a national crisis!

Yeah, Sarah, I would imagine that pressure will probably mount for Sanders to leave the race. Illinois seemed like his best shot to do well, but that doesn’t seem to be happening. And even though he plainly thinks the coronavirus crisis is an example of why the country needs radical change like Medicare for All, I’m not sure how many people outside his core base will have the appetite for that.
