COLUMBIA, S.C. — President Joe Biden easily won South Carolina’s Democratic primary on Saturday, clinching a state he pushed to lead off his party’s nominating process after it revived his then-struggling White House bid four years ago.
Biden on Saturday defeated the other long-shot Democrats on South Carolina’s ballot, including Minnesota Rep. Dean Phillips and author Marianne Williamson. His reelection campaign invested heavily in driving up turnout in what it saw as a test drive of its efforts to mobilize Black voters, a key Democratic bloc central to Biden’s chances in a likely November rematch against former President Donald Trump.

How is the AP reporting this as straight news? The DNC cabal shut everyone else out.

South American dictator. Bar the opposition and declare victory afterwards.

Democrats don't even let their own voters chose. Isn't that a dictatorship? So much for the 'Democratic' party.

I guess if you keep all your challengers off the ballot then you win. Democracy in action the dem way. Their meaning of democracy is bully and intimidate your challengers. In Russia they throw challengers out of windows. Good thing we have a DEM REPUBLIC form of government and NOT a pure democracy. Someone should tell the democrats.

Why is this a story? FJB ran against no one in a rigged primary. How could he lose?

South Carolina has a population of 5.19 Million..."Sleepy Joe" got 127,000 votes.
"In a breathtaking, historic, devastating LANDSLIDE!"(it would be interesting to know just how much the Biden campaign, related PAC's and the DNC spent to get all of those 127k "souls to the Polls")
in 2020, Trump got 1.35Million there, and his margin of victory alone over Biden was 2 1/2 times the number of Votes Joe is now bragging about receiving today.

It was fixed for Biden as he was the only known politician running, he did not even visit SC today as his handlers knew that the result of the election “was in the bag”.

More evidence that we live in a Communist country. The feeble incumbent beats a rigged field by landslide, and American Pravda treats it as legitimate and reports it as straight news.

Gears up? For Biden that means a fresh diaper and a thick application of wrinkle cream.

Had I ran against No One in SC or anywhere else I would have won in a landslide.
JB won but I bet Mickey Mouse was a close second as a write-in.

This is pathetic but also hilarious. Biden wins because he’s the only one on the ballot and the media treats it like it’s a huge victory. How Orwellian of them.

Sounds like the plebiscite to approve Germany and Austria's Anschluss. 99% said 'Ja'. 1% were never seen again.

Forgot to add. Now Clyburn will make sure that all of his homies go out and vote again on February 24 - for Trikki Nikki.

The vast majority of those Biden who voted for him are also Clyburn voters and if he told them to vote for a potato they would.
