With his 'loser' jab at Donald Trump, Joe Biden wins South Carolina.
It is anticipated that on November 5, Biden would secure a sizable majority in the next US election.
As per WELIVEGO News, The first legally recognized contest of the party's nominating season, the South Carolina Democratic primary, was won by US President Joe Biden on Saturday, according to Edison Research, with his margin of victory over two rivals.
A lot of people was watching the vote because of worries about Biden's popularity, especially with Black voters.
Shortly after the polls closed on Saturday at 7 p.m. EST, Edison Research predicted that Biden would win, and as the evening drew on, his lead remained constant, according to Reuters.
With 116,266 votes, or 96.4% of the total 120,643 polled, Biden defeated his two primary opponents, Dean Phillips and Marianne Williamson. However, Democratic officials' predictions of between 100,000 and 200,000 total votes were not met by the turnout.
"In 2020, South Carolina voters proved the pundits wrong, breathed new life into our campaign, and set us on the path to winning the presidency," the Biden campaign said in a victory statement.
"Now in 2024, the people of South Carolina have spoken again and I have no doubt that you have set us on the path to winning the presidency again — and making Donald Trump a loser — again," the campaign stated in a statement.
On November 5, the unpopular incumbent Joe Biden is predicted to win a sizable majority in the US election once more.
Aside from campaign worries that the predominantly Black vote in South Carolina might not be motivated this time around, there were also questions regarding his age, exorbitant costs, and border security issues.
The front-runner for the Republican nomination to oppose Biden in the general election is the 77-year-old former president, Donald Trump.
Due to its customary nine-to-one support for Democrats in presidential contests, South Carolina, where more than half of its Democratic electorate is Black, has not supported a Democrat since 1976. This makes the state an important test of Biden's appeal.
Voters in South Carolina were divided on Biden's reelection campaign.
Speaking of Biden, whom he intended to back in the election, McConnells, South Carolina school administrator Martin Orr, 52, said, "Sometimes I wonder, is his presence enough because you don't see him a lot, you don't hear him a lot."
Is the silence caused by his advanced age, his physical state, or something else entirely? That's what I believe a lot of folks are currently worried about."
