Summary

With Sanders' path to the nomination winnowing, Biden's rapid rise and domination of the March primaries predicts an uncontested convention. But party unity is still a ways off.

Episode Description

After two March shellackings, the Sanders campaign appears to have lost its path to the nomination. With Biden's lead poised to widening enough to avert a brokered convention, the question for the Democrats going forward is decreasingly, "Who?" and increasingly, "How?" How should Biden try to bring Sanders supporters on board? And will Sanders do a better job than in 2016 of uniting his base behind the party's candidate?
