Endorsements are in – but what will it mean for Joe Biden?

And suddenly, they’re all lining up behind Joe Biden.

It’s been said that endorsements aren’t worth the paper they are printed on if no one reads them, so why are these suddenly so significant?

• Has the DNC finally learned that a divided party can’t beat Donald Trump?
• Are these done to curry favor for future Cabinet spots and potentially a VP nod?
• And what took Barack Obama so long to get on side with his former Vice President?
