What if Biden had jumped in at around the time IRL that he said he wouldn't enter the race?

He gets a lot of the Sanders votes that weren't really for Sanders, but rather against Hillary.

Biden entering would be fatal to an already possibly fatally injured Hillary Clinton Campaign.

Polls showed that Sanders's support remained almost the same while Clinton's fell when Biden was included. He would have taken some of the same establishment votes that Clinton got and some of the Sanders supporters who were primarily concerned about Clinton's connections to Wall Street and not fully committed to Sanders's actual policy proposals.

He wouldn't win a single state. He would help Sanders out in the early states.

I really like Biden, but I doubt he'd be able to secure the nomination. 2016 was Hillary's year.

This, but flip all of Appalachia down to TN to Biden, OK to Sanders, and CA/AZ/NM to Clinton.  Biden wins MI and RI and might win MA.  An Obama endorsement would throw the superdelegates to him en masse and he would win at the convention.
Red was Clinton and blue was Biden.

He wouldn't hit viability in Iowa and get ~20% in NH, then drop out after Super Tuesday.
