Joe Biden was the big winner after many states voted in yesterday’s Democrat primaries and is definitely the leader when it comes to securing that party’s nomination.
When it was clear Biden was cruising to some victories, one of the members of Congress who endorsed him, Rep. James Clyburn of South Carolina, said the DNC should admit it’s all over:
Rep. Clyburn on NPR just now: "I think when the night is over, Joe Biden will be the prohibitive favorite to win the Democratic nomination… If the night ends the way it has begun" it's time to "shut this primary down," meaning the DNC should "step in" and cancel future debates.

And what advantage would that give Biden heading into the general election? Well, for starters, it would give him fewer chances to show off more gaffes and memory lapses:
He says prolonging the primary process only makes it more likely that the favorite, Biden in his eyes, "gets himself into trouble" and hurts himself for the general election

a candidate you want to hide from speaking too much, perfect to run in the general election where he has to speak a lot! https://t.co/Bt2iaMHt9W

There appears to be no stopping that train at this point, at least for now.
You don't have to take this, Bernie. Make Biden earn every delegate. The race isn't over until you say it's over.https://t.co/zQXi8Y9BKA
