No one has more riding on South Carolina than Joe Biden. He hopes a win there will propel him to a good showing on Super Tuesday — but that might be more difficult than it sounds.

: Buttigieg 28%, Sanders 26%, Klobuchar 18%, Biden 9%Biden also said he would fare better when the electorate became more diverse, but in Nevada, the first state with significant black and Latino populations, Sanders won Latinos overwhelmingly. Sanders won half of Latinos , and Biden finished a distant second with them,If the Vermont senator runs up the score with Latinos again on Super Tuesday in California and Texas, there may be no catching him in the pledged-delegate race.

Incidentally, the spread in the average of the polls in South Carolina is not that far off from those entrance polls in Nevada. Biden holds a 34%-to-22% lead over Sanders with Steyer third with 14%.Biden hopes a win in South Carolina will propel him to a good day on Super Tuesday, March 3. But that might be more difficult than it sounds.

His campaign has only been on TV in six of the 14 states that vote on Super Tuesday — Tennessee, North Carolina, Virginia, Texas, Alabama and Arkansas. Those happen to be the states with the highest percentages of black voters as shares of the Democratic electorates. In California, Super Tuesday's crown jewel of delegates, the Biden campaign has only spent roughly $4,000 on digital ads.By comparison, Sanders has spent more than $15 million on Super Tuesday states, including $7 million in California and $4 million in Texas, the states with the two biggest delegate hauls on Super Tuesday. California and Texas account for almost half of all delegates at stake that day.

Yeah whatever SenSanders will take it. killingnazis

People, Biden wants to return to the Obama years. I love Obama but we can’t go backwards, especially after the trump administration.

Joe who?

What has Biden done for African American voters?

Love the trump free hat!!!!! Smart man.

It only proves one thing... Joe Biden's relatives will now be overjoyed with the thought he may become POTUS so they too can become millionaires...

And his endless lies don't help, do they. Nor do his endless random insults of voters on national television. He's full of rage, prone to dishonesty, and prone to random ranting. Not a great tool set when you're trying to play catchup.

The media are certainly doing their part to help.

He may be right. I honestly thought this time, the black communities would realize the Democrats have nothing for them and never did. Plantation life is so sad. I've been there.

African American support for Trump is now over 40%.. Tonight's rally in SC will be huge for realDonaldTrump . BLEXIT

He doesn't deserve to win with Black support. He has caused Black suffering and pain for decades all the while ignoring it. And, then, has the audacity to want us to throw him a life preserver in the elections. Hell no. Black people should run him out of SC like they did Butt.

You’re discounting the trump effect in the Democrat Presidential nominee process, therefore this whole argument is a sham. There is manipulation by the the Repubs to elevate Sanders as the nominee. Their PAC had a damaging video in NV against Biden. MSM is not doing their job.

Excited to vote for VP Biden, the most qualified candidate left in the race. Terrified of Bernie Bros, a group as hateful and abusive as Trump’s supporters.

Christ just let the man rest. He's obviously struggling. Stop propping him up.

that hat tho!

Lying dog faced pony soldier

Biden would lose to Trump if nominated. berniebeatstrump SCPrimary

For the past 4 months, the so-called Mainstream Media has dubbed Mr. Biden's campaign in the SouthCarolinaPrimary as his 'firewall'... I guess we shall see

'Voters themselves must pick': Why Barack Obama isn't endorsing Joe Biden or anyone else for presidentBarack Obama has mostly avoided a race that features his former vice president, Joe Biden, even as his legacy has played a big role in the contest. Because uncle Barry knows that Joe is just about senile. No he hasn't. He's been maneuvering the Dem party machine against Bernie behind the scenes and this is a piece being sold to us to keep his reputation clean. It's a lie. Don't believe it. He needs to stay there. I'm guessing he's terrified of what's coming out regarding spygate. He needs locking up
