Singer John Legend takes to the campaign trail for presidential hopeful Elizabeth Warren at an event in South Carolina
CHARLESTON, S.C. - Democratic presidential contender Joe Biden won the endorsement of an influential black congressman from South Carolina on Wednesday, three days before the state’s primary where he is competing with national front-runner Bernie Sanders for the crucial African-American vote.
At an event in North Charleston on Wednesday, Sanders touted his momentum and went after Biden by name, saying the former vice president would not be able to generate the turnout needed to defeat Republican President Donald Trump on Nov. 3. The candidates acknowledged the sharp jabs they threw at one another in Tuesday night’s debate in Charleston when they repeatedly attacked Sanders as a risky choice to lead the party in November - but pledged to eventually unify behind one candidate.
Sharpton, in introducing Sanders at the breakfast, urged the crowd not to get caught up in the “socialist” branding, noting that the tag had been used in the past to discredit leaders of movements.
