An influential black state legislator in South Carolina endorsed Joe Biden for president today, further expanding the former vice president’s grip on the early state
An influential black state legislator in South Carolina endorsed Joe Biden for president Monday, further expanding the former vice president’s grip on the early state.
“At the end of the day, while there were some candidates who performed better in the town-hall setting with respect to energy and enthusiasm, the key question for us is winning this election,” Kimpson said. “And I firmly believe that Vice President Biden gives us our best chance to win and return the country back to some sense of normalcy so that we can plan a trajectory for progressive ideas in the future.
Biden is currently third in Iowa and second in New Hampshire, according to RealClearPolitics’ average of recent surveys. But he holds a double-digit lead in South Carolina, where Biden has a massive advantage among black voters, who made up about 60 percent of the Democratic electorate in 2016.
