Ad spending nears $900 million, Biden lands key endorsement as Democrats campaign in South Carolina

CHARLESTON, S.C. - Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden won the endorsement of an influential black congressman from South Carolina on Wednesday, which could prove pivotal as he competes with national front-runner Bernie Sanders for the support of the state’s African-American voters in Saturday’s primary.

Sanders, a democratic socialist, has taken command of the Democratic race after his resounding win in Nevada last week. Three days after South Carolina’s primary, voters in 14 states will go to the polls for the crucial Super Tuesday contests. Clyburn, the highest-ranking lawmaker in the U.S. House of Representatives, endorsed Biden at a news conference, saying he could “think of no one with the type of integrity, no one more committed to the fundamental principles to make this country what it is than my good friend.”

So far this cycle, Sanders has spent about $20 million and Biden $4.7 million, the university said. Trump has spent about $17 million on ads so far. “I can tell you exactly how it all adds up. It adds up to four more years of Donald Trump,” Buttigieg said.

Sound more like a comedy roast

Brilliance? Does he know she pretended to be an ethnic minority for decades, using her fake ethnicity to get jobs she otherwise would not have?

But her brilliance has been regressed over the years to only 1/1024 now compared with that when she started, i.e., she is not the woman she used to be.

Lame!

She’s running in a Primary. She needs to figure out how to win that first.

Nice policy reason to vote for her. Warren actually has good policies, but instead she often opts for the identity crap.

johnlegend That’s a hard pass for me. And here’s why:

Yeah if she lays off of Pence and stop protecting Bernie Sanders. I think she’s running for Bernie’s V.P. Slot - the DNC needs to look into this..

Damn John she is a flip-flopper.

Hahaha.

this is proof you can get rich and be a complete idiot. If she is brilliant than Einstein was a complete dope.

🤭🤢🤮

Lol. Notice when he endorsed her she tanked 😂😂😂

🙄

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

As a resident of Massachusetts...no....

No!

Brilliance? He just had to be kidding

NICE SPEECH BRUH

No thanks, John
