I remember that primary. We got like, what, ten primaries in before a bunch of people, some of whom were still competitive, just dropped out and gave all their delegates to Joe. I remember being flummoxed because Joe's performance in that debate was also really, really poor, and his performance in the primaries up until then had been pretty middling. So, I wouldn't agree that Joe won it as much as a bunch of candidates promised their delegates to him in exchange for cabinet positions.
It was a very slick move by the DNC after they bungled Hilary's nomination so badly.
Shit Clyburn's daughters got on Biden's transition team and are appointed to positions alongside governors. Clyburn even helped the GOP gerrymander SC to eliminate a competitive seat to keep his sole seat safer which helped Mick Mulvaney get into politics.

Ask Warren how that went for her as she started talking about how she was getting the VP pick for dropping.
