According to the preliminary vote count, Biden will win a landslide victory in the first Democratic primary in South Carolina on February 3.
NBC cited a Feb. 3 South Carolina primary vote count of 60 percent, saying Biden won 96 percent of the vote, while two other candidates, Rep. Dean Phillips and activist-writer Marian Newilliamson, each won 2 percent of the vote.
With this result, Biden is expected to capture all 55 of South Carolina's delegate votes.
Biden's campaign issued a statement: "In 2020, South Carolina voters proved the experts wrong, and they breathed new life into our campaign and allowed us to win the path to the **." ”
"This year, the people of South Carolina are speaking out again, and I am confident that you will put us on the path to victory and let Trump fail again," the statement added. ”
While the 81-year-old Biden has faced few obstacles, the election here could be seen as a major test of Biden's appeal amid concerns about the level of support for certain groups of voters, particularly voters of color who make up more than half of South Carolina's Democratic voters, as progress is being closely watched.
Fundamentally, South Carolina has not supported a Democratic candidate in an election since 1976.
Biden is now the Democratic candidate. Meanwhile, former Trump is the frontrunner of the Republican Party. Observers**, the possibility of a "rematch" between Biden and Trump is very high.
This follows Trump's back-to-back victories in the New Hampshire and Iowa primaries.
