President Joe Biden easily won South Carolina's Democratic primary, securing a state that played a crucial role in his previous White House bid. Biden's campaign focused on mobilizing Black voters, a key Democratic bloc, and sees this victory as a positive sign for the upcoming general election against Donald Trump.
President Joe Biden easily won South Carolina 's Democratic primary on Saturday, clinching a state he pushed to lead off his party's nominating process after it revived his then-struggling White House bid four years ago. Biden defeated the other long-shot Democrats on South Carolina 's ballot, including Minnesota Rep. Dean Phillips and author Marianne Williamson.
His reelection campaign invested heavily in driving up turnout in what it saw as a test drive of its efforts to mobilize Black voters, a key Democratic bloc central to Biden's chances in a likely November rematch against former President Donald Trump. 'In 2020, it was the voters of South Carolina who proved the pundits wrong, breathed new life into our campaign, and set us on the path to winning the presidency,' Biden said in a 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 Associated Press declared Biden the winner at 7:23 p.m
