.MarthaRaddatz: “If anyone can be considered a kingmaker in South Carolina, it’s Congressman and Majority Whip James Clyburn.” Clybrun, who has yet to endorse a candidate, says 'we want to defeat' Trump, but Democrats also can’t lose legislative seats.
February 16, 2020, 2:56 PMJim Clyburn, D-S.C., and South Carolina voters tell Martha Raddatz what they think as the 2020 race descends on their state.Presidential candidate and former vice president Joe Biden is leaning into his base of black voters more than ever.

“Biden's lead was based on the perception that he was the strongest candidate to be Trump," Hunter told ABC News."Over the month that image of him being the strongest candidate has diminished based on a variety of factors: his performance at debates for one and here in South Carolina. He hasn’t been in the state [as frequently]. There is goodwill towards him, but all relationships must be maintained.
