South Carolina Democrats head to the polls, where Biden is expected to notch a primary win
Joe Biden is the favorite to win the Democratic presidential nomination, beginning with a strong bid in South Carolina’s primary on Saturday against U.S. Rep. Dean Phillips and Marianne Williamson. His campaign strategy includes highlighting his efforts in improving the lives of the Black community, which makes up a majority of South Carolina’s Democratic electorate, and his support from influential figures like Rep. James Clyburn. The Democratic National Committee’s decision to have South Carolina start the official primary season, rather than Iowa and New Hampshire, is seen as consequential due to the state’s more diverse population. Biden’s support for Israel amidst its conflict with Hamas is emerging as a potential vulnerability in his re-election bid. There’s also speculation some Democrats might vote in the Republican primary to support Nikki Haley against Donald Trump.
