2020 GA US Senate Special Election- How come Tarver-D is not being publicly asked to drop out?

GA and National Democrats are asking Matt Lieberman but not Ed Tarver to drop out of the US Senate Race and endorse Raphael Warnock-D in the open primary and the general election runoff.

Ed Tarver should be asked drop out because he is polling at 5 percent and all of his supporters will go to Warnock.
Matt Lieberman should drop out and endorse Warnock if he wants to convince GA and National Democratic voters that he is nothing like his father or Zell Miller.

Worst case scenario is the two open primary winners are the two Republicans. What a wonderful choice for voters in Georgia for the general election. Would you prefer Republican A or Republican B.

Although neither Tarver or Lieberman have any chance of winning the primary they both have vowed to stay in till the end.

If Warnock-D is the incumbent and Biden-D is POTUS, he is likely to be the most vulnerable Democratic US Senator up for re-election in 2022.
