But the former Delaware senator became one of the favorites on Super Tuesday in March. Those primaries earned him a total of 458 delegates, causing Pete Buttigieg, Klobucharand businessman Michael bloomberg abandon the race. They would continue to endorse their colleague, as the Democratic Party rallied behind Biden.
Shortly after Sanders and Warren withdrew from the race, Biden is the alleged Democratic presidential candidate.
In the months that followed, Biden proceeded with caution amid the coronavirus pandemic and moved to hosting virtual events. And his limited efforts were only reinforced by the announcement of his choice for the post of vice president.
On Tuesday, August 11, the former vice president finally revealed that he had asked the California senator to be his vice president. He said in a statement, written in part: "Her record of success - fighting tooth and nail for what's right - is why I choose her. There is no door that Kamala will not knock at, no stone that she will leave unturned, if it means improving life - for the people. "
