Joe Biden is fighting for a desperately needed win in South Carolina to turn his campaign around, after poor showings in Iowa and New Hampshire and a distant second-place finish in Nevada
SUMTER, S.C. - U.S. Democratic presidential contenders blasted the Republican Trump administration’s handling of the coronavirus outbreak on the eve of South Carolina’s fourth-in-the-nation nominating contest on Saturday.
Sanders slammed Trump for holding a rally in North Charleston, South Carolina, on Friday night rather than remaining in Washington to address the situation. Bloomberg, a late entrant in the race for the White House, has not competed in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada or South Carolina, and is pinning his hopes on Super Tuesday nominating contests next week in Tennessee and 13 other states. On Thursday, he campaigned in Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas.
A Monmouth University poll released on Thursday showed Biden with large support from black South Carolina voters, who make up about 60% of the state’s Democratic electorate. Biden looked Berry in the eyes and said: “The fact that I’m not screaming like Bernie and waving my arms or like Elizabeth it’s not lack of fire.”
