4. How is that relevant to Bernie's remaining in the race?

The majority of youthful voters he won was offset by their low turnout. He lost badly in Illinois, despite what is said in that article. He is not winning voters in this election, so he should withdraw and endorse Joe Biden, and he should do it immediately to help us defeat Donald Trump in November.

Bernie's done this year. Finished. Let him help the nominee who wins the nomination defeat Trump. Instead he, and some of his followers are still sowing discontent with Biden. That can't be helpful, I think.

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