President Joe Biden handily won the Democrat's first official primary election Saturday night, with the race called by the Associated Press 20 minutes after the polls closed.
Biden held an insurmountable lead over challengers Rep. Dean Philips, D-Minn, and self-help guru Marianne Williamson, commanding around 96% of the vote (with two thirds of the votes counted).
"As I said four years ago, this campaign is for everyone who has been knocked down, counted out and left behind. That is still true today," Biden said in a statement released by his campaign. "With more than 14 million new jobs and a record 24 straight months — two years — of the unemployment rate under 4%, including a record low unemployment rate for Black Americans, we are leaving no one behind."
The Democratic National Committee (DNC), the official apparatus of the party, reshuffled the traditional primary election line-up (Iowa then New Hampshire then South Carolina) arguing that the state's significant Black population. That same voting group is largely credited with resurrecting Biden's campaign after his disappointing results in the Iowa Caucuses and New Hampshire primary in 2020, where he came in fourth and fifth place, respectively.
Biden's endorsement by Rep. Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., then the House Majority Whip with a substantial political machine in the state, helped push Biden onto a series of Super Tuesday victories. The moment of those wins ultimately catapulted him to the White House.

Light turnout has been reported in today’s SC ’RAT primary. The thinking is that lots of democRATs didn’t vote today because they plan to vote for Nikki Haley in the SC Republican primary.
That was before covid.
At this point, I see Trump as Biden's token opposition.
I'll vote for Trump, of course. But that doesn't change anything, really.
Yup. 👍

“Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice, I’m a friggin moron.” Nice to see Joe still has the boyz on the plantation.
The dynamic Biden. A tireless campaigner and brilliant orator speaking and firing thoughtful responses to questions from the throngs of admirers
Biden is indeed a savvy campaigner who proudly runs on the successes of his administration. His stunning success in handling Indian affairs is simply outstanding.

Once Big Mike Obama throws her wig into the ring, Xidenskyyyyy will be toast.
Hardly a “nail biter” when you are the only name on the ballot.
He won by almost the same victory margin as Putin, who also was the only one on the ballot!

To vote for a dementia patient as President of the United States, says they don’t have much respect for the country.
I have no faith in the younger generations.. They have no discernment.. And they would vote for a commie if radical.. They have no idea what a war is.. Needing a gov to be their back up.. They vote for the one who will take all their freedoms
If one dead rat voted he gets 90 percent
All the candidates combined percentages will be 106%.
