Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
538 just updated its primary forecast. Biden with 88% chance of winning majority of delegates!
Bernie Sanders is now down to a 2% chance in their forecast.
10% chance of no one having a majority.

If that holds, Biden will cross 1990 on May 5. If Sanders' word is worth anything at all,

he will concede at that point, and start working to rally his supporters for Biden.
