Op-Ed: Will party insiders push Biden to victory in the Democratic primaries?

The Iowa caucuses are next week, and Super Tuesday is a little more than a month away, but there are plenty of signs that party insiders have settled on a candidate: Joe Biden.

Party insiders rallied strongly for Hillary Clinton in 2016, which discouraged many others from entering the contest and helped her win the Democratic nomination, despitethe New Hampshire primary to Bernie Sanders and basically tying with him in the Iowa caucuses. One measure is endorsements, though there are different ways to weigh the value of specific endorsements.for example, counts governors, members of Congress and state legislative leaders and uses a point system based on the prominence of the endorser. Using that tracker, Biden is well ahead of the rest of the pack, with over 230 endorsement points. Elizabeth Warren is in second place with about a third of that number. Sanders has fewer than 60 points.
