My theory on Bernie and AOC's support is that they know their voice has absolutely zero influence on Biden staying in the race or not but by publicly supporting Biden, they're showing to Biden (and other moderates) they will stick by them when things get tough, if Biden remains in the race (and wins) then he will remember that and be more likely to listen to them (and they will push their policies) or even if Biden steps down, Harris will likely have appreciated their support too.
AOC and Bernie's voice doesn't mean a thing in terms of convincing Biden to step down, but while they show support to the Biden ticket, people like Pelosi, Hakeem and Schumer, with actual power and influence to force Biden off the ticket, can do so, Bernie and AOC don't have much to lose by supporting Biden remaining on the ticket and probably have more to gain by doing so.
