Jim Clyburn on predicting the Democratic primaries

On MTP Daily today (May 21 - no link to video yet), Todd pressed Jim Clyburn on predictions about the Democratic primary.
After pronouncing himself "comfortable" with Biden, Buttigieg, Harris, Booker, and Sanders (not sure whether he meant this to mean the ONLY ones he was "comfortable" with, or whether these were just the candidates that came to mind) , he concluded with the prediction that in Feb 2020, the primary races will "look very different than they do today."

I agree.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
