Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden suggested winning South Carolina’s primary was of the utmost importance for continuing his beleaguered campaign
Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden suggested on Sunday that winning South Carolina’s primary is of the utmost importance for continuing his beleaguered campaign.
Biden was asked by NBC’s Chuck Todd on “Meet the Press” whether South Carolina is the former vice president’s last chance to make up ground in the 2020 presidential race after he suffered lopsided losses in Iowa and New Hampshire.Biden added that then-Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton endured a string of primary losses in 1992 before picking up his first win, saying that upcoming delegate-rich states with demographics that are favorable to him will help make him the frontrunner before the end of March.
“We're just getting to the meat of getting to the number of delegates you need to be able to win this election,” Biden said. “And I'm confident we're going to be in good shape.” Biden, who is counting heavily on support from African Americans to lift his campaign, said other Democrats in the race haven’t been able to make inroads with the community like he has.Sign UpBy signing up you agree to receive email newsletters or alerts from POLITICO.
