“Now, in 2024, the people of South Carolina have stood up again and I have no doubt that they have put us on the path to win the presidency again and make Donald Trump a loser.” In this way Joe Biden, the current president of the United States and aspiring to repeat candidacy for the Democratic Party, celebrated his victory in the primaries in South Carolina.

These elections inaugurated the process of the Democrats’ primaries in which Biden starts with an advantage over the rest of the candidates. In fact, in South Carolina he won an overwhelming 96.2% of the vote, ahead of author Marianne Williamso, who came in at 2.1%, while Minnesota Congressman Dean Phillips received a 1 .7%

Biden has won South Carolina’s 55 delegates, although he needs nearly 2,000 to officially declare himself the Democratic nominee heading into the November election, when he could face former President Donald Trump again ( 2017-2021), which at the moment stands out as a great favorite for the Republican candidate.

In January, the first date of the Democratic primary was held in the state of New Hampshire, but an internal dispute over the date of the primary caused the Democratic National Committee to decide that that election did not count. That’s why South Carolina is the first official. Despite not counting, in New Hampshire Biden got 73% of the vote.
