No candidate has picked up as many endorsements as Joe Biden has in the last week at a comparable week in the last 14 primaries | Analysis by ForecasterEnten
Since his resounding victory in the South Carolina primary, Biden has snagged over 40 endorsements from members of Congress and governors. On Sunday, his campaign announced that he secured the backing of a former rival of his in the Democratic presidential race, California Sen. Kamala Harris. No candidate has lost when ahead in the national polls and endorsements at this point, as Biden is right now. There have been 14 party primaries without an incumbent running since 1980.
While Biden has generally been regarded as a"weak" front-runner, his 26% of possible endorsements is right behind the 29% that the median leader in previous primaries had at this point. Indeed, look at the candidates who have been ahead in endorsements at this point in the primary and lost. Two were clearly in worse positions than Biden. Al Gore in 1988 had 11% of possible endorsements. Marco Rubio had 20%.
