Joe Biden will now try to translate the projected win in South Carolina into increased support on Super Tuesday, when 14 states hold primaries.
Joe Biden will win the 2020 South Carolina Democratic primary, NBC News projects, a needed boost for a once-promising presidential campaign.It remains to be seen if Biden can translate the projected win into increased support on Super Tuesday, when 14 states hold primaries.
Biden basked in his first primary victory of his three presidential campaigns on Saturday night, telling supporters "you launched our campaign on the path to defeating Donald Trump." As he urged Democrats in the 14 states that hold primaries Tuesday to back him, he took shots at rivals Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg without naming them.
With nearly 100% of results in, Biden had a massive lead with about 49% of the vote. Sanders trailed at about 20%, followed by Steyer at about 11%. Biden will now try to translate his triumph to success three days from now on Super Tuesday. Sanders, the national delegate leader, appears poised to widen his edge as he leads recent polls of both of Tuesday's biggest prizes, California and Texas. Surveys suggest a narrow lead for Biden in North Carolina, which awards the third most delegates that day.
