“This race is not over,” Brazile said. “It’s still fluid, but clearly we now have two top delegate trackers that we need to take a look at.”

The former vice president had a rough start to the 2020 primary season, earning fourth and fifth places in Iowa and New Hampshire, respectively, as Sanders soared, winning the popular vote in Iowa and the delegate vote in New Hampshire.
But Biden started his comeback with a win in South Carolina last weekend, his first of the season.
