I think part of it is because moderates, who tend to be the older portion of the dem base, see Biden as the best chance at beating Trump and just aren't willing to move off of him. In a normal election cycle Biden's poor debate performances and gaffes probably cost him but, despite the deep pool of candidates, a sizable number of voters have their minds made up.
