Spitballing, this could really be paving the way for him to actually drop out. Obviously if it were going to happen it should be sooner rather than later. Giving him the nomination means if he drops out he gets to direct who the successor will be using his pledged delegates. If he drops out before getting the nomination his delegates can vote for whoever.

Democracy is when the withered embalmed corpse gets to pick who the president is by pointing in their direction

On a related note if I were a high level Dem politician I would be fucking pissed. The party is basically looking at Whitmer on one side and Biden on the other and saying, “ehh, we prefer our chances with Biden”

Talk about an insult

I hope that’s the case. That would be the sanest course of action. As such, I have my doubts.
