The 270 to 1 presidential calendar link I added has Biden and Biden endorsed candidates approaching 200 delegates ahead of Sanders though the lack of winner take all etc. will mean it will take a while before he officially gets the votes necessary for nomination. To speed along the basically inevitable (Sanders himself hoped to win a plurality vs. the field; one on one doesn't work), after Warren dropped out without endorsing (yet), Harris (pushed by some as v.p. among other roles) has now endorsed Biden.
See comments here on what he "stands for." Net, it seems he stands for a generic (kindly) Democrat (with issues; not my first choice!) that gets us past Trump so others have larger role in where the party goes, especially since he won't be around that long (eight years is asking a lot). Somewhat related, see this take on Prof. Ely Jr. and how to work with constitutional problems. I comment some there, including regarding applying it in a way not to make things worse and the possibility for change. Some stuff on climate change too.
