Warren MOST likely next step in NOT TO ENDORSE until there's a nominee...

Her LEAST likely next step is to ENDORSE SANDERS.

An ENDORSEMENT OF BIDEN is somewhere in the middle.

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

Why should Warren endorse either of them now? Her platform is closer to that of Sanders, but she clearly has concerns about him. However, if she endorses Biden now, it looks like she's abandoning her platform.

Warren will help get out the vote for our nominee. That's the right move.

limited bargaining chips with the eventually nominee for president in Biden, she could get some assurances from Joe on a number of elements she would like to see happen when he wins in Nov. Waiting any period time and that is over, and absolutely nothing will come out by endorsing sanders, period.

This is politics work unless you are an ideologue incapable of compromise so you see NOTHING ever accomplished.

Her smartest move is to wait until she is sure who is the leader of the winning team is, and then bet on that team. She will also be able to see where her voters go, and if they go to Biden, that will be one more reason for her to go with Biden too.
