Just in: Joe Biden wins the South Carolina primary, making it his first-ever victory in three presidential runs.
Biden's victory marks the first time the former vice president has won a primary between his three presidential runs in 1988, 2008, and now, 2020. Biden's South Carolina win keeps his campaign afloat for now but won't guarantee big wins on Super Tuesday
Biden came in fourth place in the chaotic Iowa caucuses and fifth place in the New Hampshire primary. While Biden had a slight rebound with a second-place finish in Nevada, he made clear that the future of his campaign would hinge on a South Carolina victory., Biden led the polls by a huge margin in South Carolina due to his previously insurmountable lead among African-American voters, who make up about 60% of the Democratic electorate in the state.
Biden successfully appealed to black voters by tapping into voters' strong desire to defeat Trump, positioning himself as the most likely to defeat the president in a general election.
