Joe Biden's campaign says the first Southern primary — and its majority black electorate — is the real test of a Democrat’s strength
MANCHESTER, N.H. — Joe Biden’s campaign has one answer to questions about whether his candidacy is collapsing: A noun, a verb and South Carolina.
“Whatever happens on Tuesday, Vice President Biden will still be in this race,” Symone Sanders, the Biden adviser he dispatched to Columbia, S.C., said repeatedly Tuesday on national and local television. “This race very much runs through Nevada, South Carolina and Super Tuesday.”“We have to do one thing: survive until South Carolina. We’re going to win South Carolina. If we don’t, we’re done,” said one.
“We have to do one thing: survive until South Carolina. We’re going to win South Carolina. If we don’t, we’re done."Monday showed him trailing Sanders nationally and hemorrhaging black voter support. In just two weeks, Biden’s African American backing dropped 22 percentage points down to 27 percent, while Mike Bloomberg’s black support more than tripled to 22 percent on the strength of the billionaire’s quarter-billion dollar ad campaign nationwide.
“The Biden campaign’s ‘Magic South Carolina‘ theory is weak,” Florida Democratic consultant and pollster Steve Vancore said, adding that Biden’s strategy is “reminiscent of what happened to Rudy Giuliani in 2008 when he made Florida his firewall and lost badly in every state. By the time he got to Florida, he was an afterthought.”“Biden’s not yet Dead Man Walking. He’s Wounded Man Hobbling,” Vancore said.
