While the vice president did not attend the event himself, advisers from the PAC propelling Joe Biden's hypothetical candidacy spent the weekend meeting with superdelegates as well as members of the DNC, attempting to convince them to keep an open mind with their votes, and their pocketbooks, until Biden enters the primary.
