    He asked Biden not to run in 2016, and he didn’t, then urged donors to support Hilary over Bernie. In 2020 he asked other candidates to drop out so Biden could run, and they did. I’d argue he has that influence you’re longing for and it hasn’t been that positive.

      Biden running in 2020 was good. Would’ve been even better had he stuck to his word and not ran again this time
