President Biden's push to make South Carolina the first major battleground in Democratic presidential primaries has a second big beneficiary: VP Harris.
“It sets her up,” said Pete D’Alessandro, an Iowa-based Democratic strategist who served as a senior adviser on Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ 2020 bid. “I’m thinking Pete Buttigieg is not really happy with this one.”
“The vice president has been, and continues to be, very popular among African American voters and has worked hard and used her platform as vice president to engage and lift up the voices and faces people who haven’t traditionally been heard from and who now are also front and center in the nominating process,” Finney said.
"I believe people will compete in New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada and these three primaries will basically be the starting lineup," Khanna said."It's a good demographic mix of having to appeal to Black voters, White working-class voters and Latino and Asian American voters." “The one-two punch of South Carolina and Nevada is a very strong nominating calendar for someone like the vice president," said a Democrat with knowledge of the early calendar process.
