Delegate status as of this morning:

Biden 566
Sanders 501

Bloomberg 53 (endorsed Biden)
Buttigieg 26 (endorsed Biden)
Klobuchar 7 (endorsed Biden)

Warren 61
Gabbard 1

Even if Warren withdraws and endorses Sanders, delegates would be "aligned" like this:

Biden 652
Sanders 562
Gabbard 1

There are still 284 delegates to be determined - 189 in states Sanders won, 95 in states Biden won.

2. I can't imagine Warren endorsing Sanders

He disrespected her publicly and she doesn't appear to respect him. Even though there is policy overlap, it doesn't mean she would consider him the right candidate for the job. The only other candidate worthy of the office is Biden, IMHO. It bothers me that so many assume she will endorse Sanders

I wish I had held off until the last day, because while I voted my conscience, my pragmatic side would have voted for Biden at this point. If she throws her support to Biden I will feel relieved.

6. most candidates don't endorse when they drop out.....

They just commit to support the nominee and defeating the opponent is the goal.

Pete and amy did endorse, but it was important to them and it had an impact. Warren's endorsement wouldn't have any real impact other than pissing off one base or the other.

I think she will wait till the convention.

Pete, Amy, and Bloomberg endorsed Biden. I assumed it's a sign of the times, the urgency we all feel to take back our government. It's all hands on deck. For that reason, I would be disappointed if she doesn't endorse Biden

They are likely making her office miserable with (politically) threatening messages.
