Dems need to win Florida or Ohio. Biden can do that more easily than anyone in the field reguardless if Bernie would win California by 85% and Biden by only 70%.
But he needs to win the Dem nomination first. And he doesn’t have the support network that Bernie already has, nor which Hillary can give to her likely first-female-president heir apparent (Kamala Harris). Meaning, Biden is the quasi-Republican white male who can win Florida in a heads-up against Trump, but he has to win a ton of other states in the Dem primary race that are far from strongly in his column.
