    Yep. But let’s explore this further under the hood.

    • Nobody of the progressive caucus can break ranks lest that be used against the party as a wedge-drive issue by operatives later, whether Biden stays in or not.

    • Bernie was essentially promised a high level committee position if he traded falling in line with Biden. This his returning of the favor.

    • Calls for Biden to step down will be completely ineffective from the progressive coalition anyway. Biden is a centrist and doesn’t hold much respect for them. The people who matter are the likes of Clyburn and Pelosi.
