Sanders’s platform is more similar to the progressive agenda Warren was pitching in her campaign. Biden, however, is building on his lead over Sanders after big wins in Tuesday night’s election following momentum he built after winning South Carolina and 10 out of 14 Super Tuesday states. 

Warren has spoken with Biden once since Super Tuesday and has spoken with Sanders multiple times, the Times reported.

Some of Sanders’s supporters have been urging Warren to endorse Sanders, noting how the two have similar progressive policies.

Biden grew his delegate lead to about 150 over Sanders after wins in Mississippi, Missouri, Michigan and Idaho Tuesday night.

Sanders vowed Wednesday to continue his campaign despite his string of losses.
