15. It is popular with Sanders supporters.

It is less popular with others, actually. That is the nature of support for political candidates. Everyone thinks what they like is liked by everyone. That is almost never the case.

Sanders hit his ceiling of support from Democrats at somewhere around 30%. That is not, and never has been, a majority of Democrats. Once the field of candidates was thinned down, that became crystal clear. The majority wanted a nominee who was more moderate. Now, with only two candidates still in the race, Sanders is still holding at about 30%. Joe Biden has consolidated support from the rest of Democrats.

Majority rules in the Democratic Party.

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