President Joe Biden won a commanding victory in the South Carolina presidential primary, outpacing challenges from Rep. Dean Phillips and author Marianne Williamson. Securing approximately 96.2% of the vote, Biden’s triumph in the state—now first in the Democratic nominating calendar—positions him strongly for the upcoming general election. The win also aims to bolster Democratic enthusiasm and Biden’s support among Black voters, with turnout indicating substantial backing despite being lower than the competitive race four years prior.
Biden’s strategy included significant campaign efforts and advertising in South Carolina, highlighting the importance of the state in his reelection bid. His victory speech, delivered via phone to a crowd at the South Carolina Democratic Party’s event, emphasized the pivotal role South Carolina voters played in his political resurgence in 2020 and their continued support in the current race.
The primary’s outcome was largely anticipated, with Biden’s campaign and his competitors recognizing the president’s strong position. Despite the predictable result, the Biden campaign invested heavily in the state, reflecting its strategic importance in the electoral landscape.
