The race turned out to be the shortest Democratic primary since 2004—and the party now appears to be unified

reasons why Hillary Clinton lost to Donald Trump was that around a quarter of her Democratic rival’s voters spurned her. Most of Bernie Sanders’s disaffected supporters voted for third-party no-hopers or Mr Trump in 2016. Some stayed at home.

The virus is also behind Mr Sanders’s timely concession, Mr Trump’s response to it having renewed Democrats’ dread of disunity and another defeat to him. That is not something Mr Sanders, who at 78 will almost certainly not run again, would want to be laid on him. His endorsement, he told Mr Biden, was intended to help him beat “the most dangerous president in the modern history of this country.”

And though Mr Biden is running on more left-wing promises than Mrs Clinton, especially on health-care and climate-change policy, he was the most unambiguously moderate contender in the primary and far to the right of Mr Sanders.
