A pro-“Medicare for All” group is funding a campaign in South Carolina promoting the health care policy — and its spending could help boost Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren in Saturday's Democratic primary.
The group’s field operation started at the beginning of February and includes 13 paid canvassers. The team said it has knocked on more than 3,000 doors and made more than 27,000 phone calls and 24,500 texts. It has also visited churches and held town halls. Joe Biden, who opposes single-payer, is in the lead in the South Carolina primary, according to polling averages, with Sanders in second place.
