The South Carolina primary was the first major test of the candidates’ appeal among black voters. And while it gave the 77-year-old Biden a win when he most needed it, he must still prove that he has the financial and organizational resources to dramatically expand his campaign in the next 72 hours. He will also be under pressure to rely on his decades-long relationships with party leaders to create a new sense of inevitability around his candidacy.
In a power play, Sanders hosted a midday rally Saturday in downtown Boston, campaigning in the heart of liberal ally Elizabeth Warren’s political turf. Addressing a crowd of thousands on the Boston Common, Sanders said his success in the Democratic primary means “the establishment is getting very nervous” — but he never predicted victory in South Carolina.On the eve of Super Tuesday, Sanders will host a concert in Minnesota, where home-state Sen. Amy Klobuchar is looking for her first win.
Not ceding anything, Pete Buttigieg is fighting to prove he can build a multiracial coalition. And with the help of super PACs, Warren and Klobuchar have vowed to keep pushing forward no matter how they finish on Saturday. That sentiment was echoed by former senior Obama adviser David Axelrod, who said a big Biden win in South Carolina could give him a Super Tuesday boost that might force several candidates to quickly consider whether to proceed, including Bloomberg.
It's too early to say about the demise of Bernie's campaign, but it's clear that African American voters in South Carolina want a moderate instead of progressive. For all the self righteous revolutionaries out there, have you heard the people's voice?
Tactic: Lie It worked for Trump
See the lemmings are marching to the tune
Might wanna get that lying under control, the meeting Mandela in south Africa, marching in civil rights,90s crimebill is a good place to start.
He only got it because he rode on a white horse with Obama and old sourthern black dems love obama, so of course they would vote for Joe, even though his policies hurt them the most.
Excuse me. The media is covering up Joe Biden's med history and ignoring his clear and obvious med condition. Joe Biden has a history of brain aneurism's. He has had 3 but the last one during Obama he denied it. The brain issues explains his mental and memory issues, gaffes
How many repugnuts voted for Biden in this open primary
It's a new day. Things have changed. Trump hasn't just pissed off the African American community. Wake up.
Biden, god bless him, has been a member of the good ol’ boy’s club for forever. If he wins 2020, it’s only for 1 term. He seems confused.
Biden doesn’t care about black people. Watch how quickly he forgets us
South Carolina black voters put Jim Clyburn ahead of anita hill.
Minorities : ignored ✅ Conservative boomers : Praised ✅ Consent : manufactured ✅ Yep , it's MSM time
Baloney Rode a wave? Convincing? Victory? Associated Press should stick to reporting the News and stay out of propaganda and Democrat Infomercials
“Bernie Sanders progressive winning streak”, my ass. Putin and Republicans were all up in this game cheating and lying. My People, base of this party, refused to be erased from what our ancestors shed their blood souls and lives by being lynched and deprived basic human rights.
Biden has been a non-option for me; partly because of recent errors and his dependence on 'it's all about who you know' but mostly because he is a status quo candidate. The status quo is killing us, BlueNoMatterWho but I really can't see why he should be the nom for anyone?
He Just Won The Senate!! 🏅 South Carolina Democrat Party was stan for only Steyer, Biden, & Bloomberg but also undemocratic in closing polling locations last minute, selling of high $ tickets to Bloomberg and Biden supporters, boos to save billionaires. What voice was left?
And I'm surprised that all Bernie's horses and OperationChaos Republicans couldn't put Bernie ahead at the polls.
Don’t they get the internet down there? Biden has helped to economically terrorize black People and put them in prison. I don’t understand this campaign season. We have a once in a lifetime candidate, and the people who have been wrong all this time are allowed to obstruct him.
Errrrr. Why are you showing Bloomberg ?
By Wednesday Biden will be down 250
The American media not explaining Joe Biden appeal with African Americans? He is against Medicare for all, he is a segregationist. He was very cruel to Anita Hill. Biden is Obama sidekick.
TheLastRefuge2 DNC corruption well at work. Once again, Bernie will be screwed
Yippee?🥱🥱🥱
JoeBiden in his SC victory speech CreepyJoeBiden thanked CA voters. Ironic CarpeDonktum ScottAdamsSays
BonnieKranick I have a hard time believing the polls. Why would black Americans keep voting Dem ? What did Obongo and Joe do for them in 8 yrs ? Nothing... No prison reform Took away their jobs Gave money for Americans to illegals So why still vote dem ? Trump he has done more
🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭
Nothing ended. This is the middle.
Rode a wave of the oldest African American electorate in the nation. You should change the hook line
Did they bother to count the votes or have they just given up on that since Iowa?
People are dumb lol.
I am simply amazed at the African American community. How gullible could you be? And they wonder why...
I do not buy this for a second
I honestly thought that Biden was talking out of his arse when he adamantly told everyone he KNEW that he was going to win S.C. Maybe HE KNEW something the rest of us didn't...js and trying to KeepingItReal
TheLastRefuge2 I wonder how many Rs voted in the D primary to ensure a socialist never gets the nomination.
He is the projected winner but to declare victory is premature or do I dare to say 'fake news'
Just wait until crazy Bernie wins California’s 415 delegates on a Tues....
colvinj This does not make Trump happy. Therefore, it makes me happy.
He still has time to drop out
If trump allows the election to go ahead. And all the democratic supporters vote dem then only some will die.
It should be illegal to report projected election results before 75% of votes are in.
TheLastRefuge2 Can't remember what state he's in, or what he's saying.....but he's our daddy ! Lol.
Geeze AP. Never thought I would ask but, can you cite your source?
Why use a Bloomberg pic as the cover photo of this article...?
TheLastRefuge2 The first black president doesnt even endorse this guy and he was his running mate!
This isn’t even a convincing picture of Joe Biden
I am not sure what this says South Carolina? He thought at one point he was running for Senate and half of America had been killed by gun violence. Are you people in South Carolina ok
The Biden train has no brakes, and it’s gaining speed.
Trump supporters start the Biden bashing
Imagine being a 'News organization' and calling a winner with zero percent of the vote in.
Too bad for Joe the rest of the states aren’t majority population of black Americans.
TheLastRefuge2 They never learn, Democrats have been using abusing taking advantage of them for more than 60 years.
Convincing? You wrote this before a single vote was counted
Interesting spin
Too bad he's gone senile. Remind him again tomorrow 😂
TheLastRefuge2 Who did it convince?
Victory? 4% reporting. Your bias is showing AP
If Bloomberg truly doesn't want trump to win, this is a great time to support joe, rather than create more DIVISION
TheLastRefuge2 😂😂😂
TheLastRefuge2
The DNC and Clyburn have SC African American voters in chains and shackles and we’ll under control.
But that's a pic of MikeBloomberg
Why use Bloomberg photo here?
Did Bloomberg pay to have his picture included with this tweet?
Why is there a picture of Bloomberg?
Let this be a lesson to all those Trumpkins who tried to play games.
Convincing? Only 1 percent have reported. 😂
*communist rival….
This should seal the deal TBH.
Someone check on Shaun King 😂😂
Rode a wave of African Americans. A literal Black Sea.
Jesus people he didn’t even know he was IN SOUTH CAROLINA earlier today!
Winning streak...of 2.
Congratulations JoeBiden 🇺🇸
He can barely speak
Literally less than 1% of votes are in right now
