shaq, what's the sanders camp saying about biden now officially in the race? >> reporter: good morning, stephanie. i've been talking to advisers about this all week. one senior campaign official told me this morning that this was expected. they were expecting vice president biden to jump into this race. he said -- this official framed it this way in the sense of they see it as biden is the establishment candidate. he's going to have party support. he's going to have endorsements. he's a known commodity. but sanders, they believe, has more of the voter support. they feel like sanders is more in line with party voters. so that's how they're framing it. they're seeing sanders just as electable as biden but just as influential in this race. >> well, he certainly has a whole lot of influence. let's go garrett haake. garrett, we've got to talk beto. when beto announced, there was huge enthusiasm, huge momentum and then pete buttigieg put a big dent in that. biden stepped in with another denting. what does this do to beto? does he pivot? what direction does he go in?
