I'm honestly a little surprised that he didn't hang in it until Texas, which is still early in the calendar and where he's consistently polling above the 15% threshold necessary for gaining delegates. No other candidates outside of the frontrunners have that sort of path in the big picture.
It probably benefits Biden more than anyone else to lose another conservative-lane rival, but if it's enough to put Warren or Sanders over the 15% threshold in Texas then it benefits them too. Hopefully we get some more polls in Texas in the next couple weeks, as it's been over a month since the last high-quality poll.
