Biden Secures Massive Victory in South Carolina Primary, Dominating Vote Share

President Biden secured a decisive win in South Carolina’s Democratic primary, solidifying his frontrunner status and energizing his campaign for the November election.

With an overwhelming 96.2% of the ballots cast in his favor and 97% of votes tallied, Biden’s triumph underscored the unwavering support he commands among Democratic voters.

The landslide win not only secured all 55 of the state’s Democratic delegates for Biden but also dispelled any doubts about his dominance within the party. 

House Rep. Dean Phillips and former Democratic candidate Marianne Williamson trailed far behind, each capturing a mere 2% of the vote, failing to meet the 15% threshold required for delegate allocation.

Addressing his victory, Biden expressed gratitude to the voters of South Carolina, noting their pivotal role in propelling his campaign forward in both 2020 and now in 2024. This latest triumph, he emphasized, sets the stage for another successful bid for the presidency, aiming to defeat Donald Trump once again.

However, the celebration of Biden’s win was tempered by reports of lower-than-expected turnout, signaling potential challenges in energizing Democratic voters. 

Biden’s Strong Backing from Black Voters

President Biden secured a decisive win in South Carolina’s Democratic primary, solidifying his frontrunner status and energizing his campaign for the November election.

In contrast to the significant turnout seen in 2020, this year’s primary saw a notable decline in participation, raising concerns about enthusiasm for Biden’s candidacy, particularly among Black voters, a crucial demographic in South Carolina.

Yet, Biden’s strong showing in the primary, especially among Black voters, offers reassurance to his campaign and helps alleviate concerns about waning support within key constituencies. 

With the official primary season delayed and challenges mounting, Biden’s victory in South Carolina injects much-needed momentum into his campaign, highlighting his resilience amid a fiercely contested political landscape.

Looking ahead, all eyes now turn to the upcoming Republican primary on February 24, where former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley will challenge former President Donald Trump in his own backyard. The GOP primary is anticipated to draw considerable attention and turnout, contrasting with the relatively subdued Democratic contest marked by its notable civility.

In the wake of his victory, Phillips extended his congratulations to President Biden, acknowledging the decisive outcome of the Democratic primary a testament to Biden’s strength as the party’s standard-bearer.
