Former Vice President Joe Biden — after his pair of devastating losses — tried to reassure supporters on an evening call Wednesday that “things haven’t changed” and that there’s been “no dropoff in our endorsers.”
Arguing that the primary is “still wide open,” Biden said he was "confident we can win South Carolina. I think we'll win Nevada, but it is a caucus which is a little bit different,” according to a recording of the roughly 13-minute call obtained by POLITICO.
Biden has long said he would perform better than his rivals once the primary reached more diverse states, particularly South Carolina. His campaign sees that state as a "launching pad" to Super Tuesday success.
But a looming Mike Bloomberg and poor showings compared to other fellow moderates Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar in the first two states has Biden's campaign on edge.
"The point is that, I want you to know [is] that things haven't changed in terms of responses we're getting, in terms of whether it's contributions online or whether it's endorsements since both of those primaries have taken place,"he said.
Biden said he has raised more than $4 million online in the first 11 days of this month, including $453,000 online on Tuesday.
“So my point is that we've not seen any diminution in the energy or in endorsements,” he added.
Biden said he made clear to attendees at his South Carolina event Tuesday, which he left New Hampshire to attend, that the race “is just beginning and we're not anywhere near the end.”
“I'll be damned if we're gonna lose this nomination, particularly if we're gonna lose this nomination and end up losing an election to Donald Trump,” Biden said on the call, adding that he’s “not sugarcoating” his chances and that he “feels really good.”

ROTFL!!!!!!
LOSER
Uh, Joe...it's already happened but you're too dumb to know it.
Yep, It’s pretty bad when Obama won’t even endorse his own vice president.
I think that somebody needs to post a final 4 type bracket..
Where it shows that the winner of all of these primaries
then has to defeat Bloomberg.
and his super delegates.
Poor bastid. Now he’s going to hell.
Well cockroaches can live a week or so without the head. ...
I guess he is damned, then.
And he should be damned for his public statement about the man who drove the truck that killed his wife and child, accusing him of being a drunk driver when he wasn’t. Which Biden refuses to retract, even after being asked by the guy’s family.
Because states where there are so many people just like him, don't like him? Hmmm....
Ya, Joe, talkin’ tough, THAT’S the ticket!
Old school dim? just crooked but not a prog?
Unless he repents and turns to God, that’s what’s going to happen anyways.
Just a matter of time.
Is this from 1988 or 2008?
Enjoy those icy chains, Jose.
Then be damned Joe. This is your third go-round at running for president and you still have not won a single primary or caucus. What does that tell you?
He looks like Max Headroom.
Careful what comes out of your mouth, you lyin’ old dog-faced pony soldier.
Is that you, John Wayne?! Sheesh! Isn't the media the least bit tired of Joe's tough-guy schtick? And with Joe it's all schtick, from the aviator glasses and the upturned windbreaker collar, to the rolled-up sleeves, to the braggart tough-guy act. There isn't a single authentic thing about him!
