Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Bernie only near 50% in Vermont

Bernie is barely getting half the vote in VERMONT. As in many places, hes getting around half the votes he did in 2016. He never expanded the electorate. His own is shrinking.

(59,501 posts)6. My guess - as someone living then and now in Burlington
IN 2016, many people voted for Bernie as a favorite son thinking he was completely unlikely to win. Many people were offended by HRC and her team attacking VERMONT itself. This year, he is a serious candidate. I know people who were not happy that he continued after his heart attack rather than conceding in favor of Warren - acting against the issues he was for.
