“In 2024, the people of South Carolina spoke again and I have no doubt that they put us on the path to a new presidency and a new defeat for Donald Trump,” added the Democrat.
The head of state overwhelmingly defeated, with 96.4% of the votes, the other top Democrats in the South Carolina vote, including Representative Dean Phillips, from Minnesota, and writer Marianne Williamson.
The campaign has invested heavily in boosting Biden’s turnout, aiming to test efforts to mobilize Black voters, who are a key part of the Democratic vote in South Carolina and central to the President’s strategy for victory in November.
Biden had pushed for the South Carolina Democratic primary to officially begin the party’s nominating process.

The 81-year-old head of government was in California on Saturday night before heading to Nevada (west) for the next Democratic primaries.
In Michigan, a large and diverse state, the Democratic primary is February 27, before voting on March 5, known as “Super Tuesday.”
