With a big win in South Carolina, Joe Biden is headed towards Super Tuesday with a real chance of making this a one-on-one fight for the nomination with Bernie Sanders
Biden’s campaign finally found its sweet spot in South Carolina. Photo: Sean Rayford/Getty Images Just a week after he faced political oblivion in Nevada, Joe Biden won a solid victory in South Carolina, the final “early state” to vote before the vast 14-state carnival of Super Tuesday.
Exit polls suggest that he will beat Sanders by a two-to-one margin, and lead him in every major voting group other than under-30 voters. He is winning a solid majority of black voters and a plurality of white voters. And for the first and perhaps last time, he’s ahead of Sanders among “very liberal” voters along with “somewhat liberal” and “moderate or conservative” Democrats. Biden’s even winning about a quarter of under-30 voters.
The rest of the field will be happy to move onto Super Tuesday. Pete Buttigieg, who invested a lot of time and effort in South Carolina, is battling Elizabeth Warren for fourth place, with both probably finishing in single digits, and Klobuchar far behind. Biden will clearly get a big majority of pledged delegates awarded after this primary, with Sanders perhaps the only other candidate gleaning any at all.
