FOX: Former Vice President Joe Biden decisively won the South Carolina Democratic primary on Saturday, claiming his first victory of the 2020 race and giving a crucial boost to his struggling campaign ahead of Super Tuesday.
The victory tracked with polls indicating that Biden, buoyed by support among black voters, had a significant lead in the state for months over Sen. Bernie Sanders and others, despite the surging Vermont senator beginning to close the gap after early primary wins. Fox News projects Sanders will finish second, followed by wealthy progressive activist Tom Steyer — who then ended his campaign within hours of polls closing.
Biden had banked on his “firewall” of South Carolina to essentially save his flagging presidential bid. As the former primary front-runner took the stage at his victory party in Columbia, S.C., he hugged South Carolina Rep. Jim Clyburn and thanked him for his recent endorsement saying, “You brought me back.”
“Just days ago the press and the pundits had declared this candidacy dead. Now thanks to all of you, the heart of the Democratic Party, we just won and we won big because of you,” Biden declared.
“This is the moment to choose the path forward for our party, this is the moment and it’s arrived, maybe sooner than anyone guessed it would but it’s here,” Biden told supporters in Columbia.
A total of 54 pledged delegates are at stake in the state. With 78 percent of returns in, Biden had 49.2 percent, Sanders had 19.6 percent and Steyer had 11.5 percent. Behind Steyer were former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., and Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii. more

Well.. his stumbling, bumbling, stuttering, slurred and incoherent ramblings are similar to ebonics.

I’d be very interested in knowing the numbers of voters this year in comparison to 2016. Could be very telling.
How stupid are democrat voters?
This stupid.
The guy is a criminal, a pervert, and he is getting senile.
They preferred the hairy-legged evil they already know. lol.
Great news from South Carolina! The Democrat-Socialists-Reparations-Homosexualists-Afmerican- Freestuffers Party has kept the weakest possible candidate alive to be humiliated in just three more days.
I want Biden to be the candidate
I keep hearing in the background: ‘Finish Him!’ and Biden with X’s for eyes
@Different Tim ~ the 2016 d’Rat SC primary was between the Hildabeast & Comrade Bernie … the ‘beast won 272,379 to 96,498
here’s the link to the latest results for tonight … you do the math … my head’s not into it

Answer me this, they declared him the winner 30 seconds after the polls closed, and with 0 precincts reporting. Was the fix in?
@Different Tim ~ also remember it’s an open primary, so we don’t know how many non-dRats voted … I guess add up the Tulsi Gabbard votes & throw in a few thousand Bernie ‘chaos’ votes
(no repub primary in 2020. in 2016 there was a repub primary, so the repubs voted in that one)
Warren got 7% of the vote, and she’s setting her sights to reproduce
Mondale and Ferraro of 1984.
Just watch, she’ll be Biden’s V.P. selection, fellow scumbag lawyers stick together.
Corn Pop is still giggling.
Evidently they likes them some hairy legs down south
Once again the blacks show us all why we should appreciate their contributions to society.
(cue music)
You say the 19th, and I say the 14th,
Let’s call the whole thing off.
Must be the “Fritz Hollings” memorial vote… 😳
Press release tonight from the campaign. “Joe is very proud to represent the great state of South Dakota as your senator.”
