COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — President
Joe Biden easily won South Carolina’s Democratic primary on Saturday, clinching a state he pushed to lead off his party’s nominating process after it revived his then-struggling White House bid four years ago.
Biden defeated the other long-shot Democrats on South Carolina’s ballot, including Minnesota Rep. Dean Phillips and author Marianne Williamson. His reelection campaign invested heavily in driving up turnout in what it saw as a
test drive of its efforts to mobilize Black voters, a key Democratic bloc central to Biden’s chances in a likely November rematch against former President
Donald Trump.
“In 2020, it was the voters of South Carolina who proved the pundits wrong, breathed new life into our campaign, and set us on the path to winning the presidency,” Biden said in a statement. “Now in 2024, the people of South Carolina have spoken again and I have no doubt that you have set us on the path to winning the Presidency again — and making Donald Trump a loser — again.”

My point is if they can not defeat Joe Biden in the democratic primaries...would it be a repeat when Joe Biden is up against Donald Trump especially if the economy
(an economy/businesses shut down first by former President Trump) continues to improve after coming out of a Pandemic ???
A recent New York Times and Sienna College poll found that in six key swing states 71% of black voters would back Mr Biden in 2024, a steep drop from the 92% nationally that helped him win the White House at the last election.
Todd Shaw, a University of South Carolina political science professor, told the BBC that if Mr Biden fails to get a strong showing from black voters from the state in Saturday's primary, it could spell trouble for his campaign for re-election."Black voters in South Carolina mirror trends among black voters nationally. So, what happens here could be an indicator of what's to come."
Regardless of any polls...Joe Biden
easily won South Carolina with strong support from Black voters and other minority voters.
Why did they vote for him today in South Carolina ???
Another question that has gone unanswered for a while, why are the Democrats putting up weak competition against Biden and why are minority groups not voting for others in the DNC primaries if they truly want to get rid of Biden ???
Oddly, Biden was
not in South Carolina today...doing a Trump move. Instead, Biden was in California.
“In 2020, it was the voters of South Carolina who proved the pundits wrong, breathed new life into our campaign, and set us on the path to winning the Presidency,” he said. “Now in 2024, the people of South Carolina have spoken again and I have no doubt that you have set us on the path to winning the Presidency again — and making Donald Trump a loser — again.”

The warnings by
Nikki Haley about South Carolina and what's to come may be gaining some traction.
