Maybe I’m remembering this wrong, but didn’t Biden win the 2020 primary after a smoke-filled room following South Carolina convinced Mayor Pete and Minnesota Amy to drop and endorse Biden? Is there time to fall in love?

That was after 8 months of campaigning, more than a dozen debates and town halls, and several primaries. The voters got to know the candidates, and Biden had successfully closed the path for Pete and Amy. The deal wasn't backroom, but after the people indicated their preference.
