After a catastrophic start in Iowa and New Hampshire, former Democratic nomination contestant Joe Biden hopes to win his first victory in the South Carolina primary on Saturday, February 29.
The former vice-president, who relies on the loyalty of a mainly African-American electorate, received in this regard, Wednesday, February 26, the support of number three of the House of Representatives, elected state, influence Jim Clyburn.
Joe Biden assured the unity
In a meeting at Coastal Carolina University on Thursday, Joe Biden assured that the unity of the United States would be the next President’s greatest challenge. “This nation is not looking for a revolution. She is looking for results,” said the former vice president. “Democracies need consensus. Otherwise, we have only the abuse of power on the part of a president, whether Democrat or Republican. ” Joe Biden did not mention the name of the independent senator from Vermont, Bernie Sanders, but the allusion was transparent, as the latter identified with the ” political revolution ” it calls for.
Biden hopes to take advantage
Biden hopes to take advantage of a good result in South Carolina to relaunch his candidacy against the man who is now leading the race, both in the number of delegates and in voting intentions. Time is counted. He has neither the unlimited financial means of the former mayor of New York Michael Bloomberg, who disputes the electorate of the center of the Democratic Party nor of the army of small donors of the senator of Vermont.
The pressure that accumulates on the shoulders of the former vice-president of Barack Obama did not prevent him from multiplying the blunders, which made him involuntarily famous. “My name is Joe Biden, I am a Democratic candidate for the United States Senate,” he said in a campaign speech on Monday.

His campaign team also had to correct statements on Thursday that Joe Biden had mentioned an arrest in apartheid, South Africa.
Pew Research Center poll
According to a January Pew Research Center poll, 57% of African Americans who call themselves Democrats believe that Donald Trump’s policies have been bad for the U.S. economy. This is almost ten points more than the average (48%) of Democratic voters, while the President of the United States systematically highlights the good unemployment results for this community hoping to get more votes in November than in 2016 when African Americans massively attacked his Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton.
Elizabeth Warren
Elizabeth Warren virulently attacked the billionaire Michal Bloomberg, during the last two Democratic debates, the first in which the latter took part. She reoffends in this video by denouncing the tsunami of campaign advertisements that the former mayor of New York is sweeping on the airwaves and screens when the priority of the senator of Massachusetts would, however, be rather to dispute with the independent senator of Vermont Bernie Sanders the left-wing of the Democratic Party.
Monmouth poll released
A Monmouth poll released Thursday, February 27, shows that former vice president Joe Biden has a clear lead in South Carolina. It collects 36% of the voting intentions, against 16% for Senator Bernie Sanders, 15% for billionaire Tom Steyer, 8% for Senator Elizabeth Warren, 6% for Pete Buttigieg, and 4% for Senator Amy Klobuchar. Michael Bloomberg is not a candidate in this state.
Majority of Americans
A clear majority of Americans polled by conservative Fox News believe Donald Trump will be re-elected in November. This prognosis contrasts with the results of the duels which were proposed in this same survey and which show the outgoing President outstripped in voting intentions by the Democrats Bernie Sanders (49% against 42%), Joe Biden (49% against 41%), and Michael Bloomberg (48% versus 40%); these duels are only indicative because the presidential is played at the state level.
