Key takeaways from South Carolina: • A much-needed win for Biden, but he'll have to broaden his appeal to keep winning • Sanders hopes to show continuing strength on Super Tuesday • Will Buttigieg, Warren, Klobuchar and Steyer stay in the race?
Supporters cheer at a primary election night rally for Democratic presidential candidate former Vice President Joe Biden in Columbia, S.C., Saturday, Feb. 29, 2020.
Both Pete Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, and Sen. Amy Klobuchar finished well behind Biden, but they are still planning to compete in Super Tuesday states. They could draw just enough of the vote to deny Biden the numbers he needs to make the case for a one-on-one competition with Sen. Bernie Sanders.
Instead, he showed the limits of his progressive appeal in the South. But you can win the Democratic nomination without winning the South, and Sanders wants to show how on Super Tuesday. He has a commanding lead in polls for the biggest prize on the map, California, and is competitive in every state.
While Biden is hoping South Carolina puts wind in his sails, Sanders just has to keep the current breeze keeps blowing.At some point in the nominating process, they stop handing out participation trophies. Klobuchar, Buttigieg and Sen. Elizabeth Warren have yet to prove they can win with diverse coalitions of the Democratic Party.
Then there is the other billionaire in the race, Tom Steyer, who also ran well behind Biden and Sanders, despite spending more than $20 million in the state.A few hours before polls closed in South Carolina, Bloomberg announced he was buying three-minute ads on two television networks Sunday night. And that will follow an interview on CBS’s “60 Minutes.”
