U.S. **Biden wins in South Carolina|Reuter.
According to NBC News, statistics at 8 p.m. EST on February 3 showed that Biden accounted for 97% of the votes in the South Carolina primary, far ahead of his colleagues. The candidates include Rep. Dean Phillips, a Democrat from Minnesota, and Marianne Williamson, a writer, who are on par with Biden.
Biden was filled with emotion in his statement after announcing his victory: "In 2020, South Carolina voters decisively eliminated the then-** Trump, making this move our journey to victory." This year, the same voices of support from South Carolina will guide me forward, and Trump may have to taste the bitterness of defeat again. ”
Trump will confront Biden head-on in the future. NBC News boldly speculated that Biden could laugh at South Carolina because of the 55 precious votes in his hand; Williamson and Phillips, on the other hand, seem to be a bit overwhelmed, and they can't even guarantee 15 percent of the vote in the state or any congressional district.
If you want to become the leading candidate of the Democratic Party, you need the help of a total of 1,968 representatives of the whole party. Nicky Haley, who went down in history as he met Trump and the third round of the Republican primary in South Carolina on February 24, seemed unable to resist Trump's previous enormous advantage in Iowa and New Hampshire.
Commentators believe that based on Biden's current advantage and the superiority of the polls on the next election day, it seems that the winner and the loser are a foregone conclusion. However, the most important thing to pay attention to today's victory is not quantity, but quality. If Biden can continue today's momentum in the Nevada race on Tuesday (Feb. 6), he will receive 36 high-profile delegate votes. It is expected that the weekend** will launch another intensive campaign in Las Vegas.
It was also the first time the Democratic Party had held an open primary in South Carolina. But in fact, historically, New Hampshire has been the top choice for Democratic primaries. However, following Biden's initiative, the Democratic National Committee gave South Carolina a substitute for the New Hampshire that the new generation hoped. They made this adjustment because they recognized the diverse nature of South Carolina's population and believed that it would paint a more accurate picture of the election campaign.
Haley, who is running for the Republican nomination, has not yet confirmed her cooperation with Trump, but a fierce collision between the two is already poised to take place.
