dropped out or no longer seem viable (to her),but given how things are unfolding, she decisively prefers Biden to the likely alternative. I don't think she's trying to "impress" anyone, but persuade amy of her those who respect her opinion that Biden is the best choice. (Isn't that how primaries are supposed to work?)

Many of these high profile endorsements are also superdelegates. All senators, house reps, and governors are

Tammy is a good example.

Joe has endorsements from 77 of the 771. Second highest is Bloomberg with 23.
