Just an astonishing comeback for Biden. I can’t think of a bigger and more sudden one. https://t.co/wefKt460zP— Nick Confessore (@Nick Confessore) 1583335228.0
However, Biden got some key endorsements from candidates that dropped out of the election and off the ballots before Super Tuesday votes took place.
Those who dropped out to endorse Biden were Mayor Pete Buttigieg...

... and Senator Amy Klobuchar.
These endorsements were important for Biden, whose campaign is now uniting the moderate Democrats in the field around a shared vision and singular candidate.
After a disappointing Super Tuesday, Mike Bloomberg also called it quits and threw his endorsement to Joe Biden.

However, all of these candidates dropping out of the election and endorsing Biden is creating some speculation that the DNC might be pressuring the candidates to drop out.

As a result of these speculations, #RiggedDNC, #RiggedPrimary, and #BernieOrBust2020 began trending on Twitter.
Sanders supporters are making the case that the DNC is pushing Bernie out in a similar situation that was argued for in the 2016 Democratic primaries where Hilary Clinton walked away with the nomination.

And many are fighting against these trends arguing that Sanders supporters are no better than Trump's...
... and that Sanders supporters are not living in reality.

At the end of the day, some believe Sanders just isn't delivering.

One thing is certain, with candidates dropping out of the election, those votes will go to one of the remaining candidates. So, many voters potentially flipped to either Biden or Bernie, helping each candidate.
After a disappointing finish during Super Tuesday, Warren is apparently reassessing things.

And some believe that if Warren were to drop out, it would help Sanders immensely in a fight against Biden for the Democratic nomination.
