Is because of this congregation and the black community of
South Carolina and not an exaggeration and Jim Clyburn that
I stand here today as your President.
Almost every politician from South Carolina is endorsing me and
the next one is my sweet state of South Carolina.
Once in the shadows of Iowa and New Hampshire,
South Carolina is now a must win primary state for
the remaining Democrat and Republican candidates.
Here's what we know now.
Why is South Carolina important for President Joe Biden's campaign?
South Carolina will be the first primary that counts and
President Biden and has his campaign are pushing for a
huge turn out there.
You have a state where one in four voters are
black there.
That is a big demographic group for him to win
in the general election.
Former Ambassador Nikki Haley will go head to head with
former President Donald Trump.
How high are the stakes for her?
In the past, we've seen politicians on both sides of
the aisle lose their home state and then that's when
they drop out of the race.
She's created some large expectations for herself there and and
she was governor of South Carolina.
She was elected to two terms,
but she hasn't been on the ballot for a decade
because she left.
South Carolina to go be Donald Trump's United Nations ambassador.
So the state since then has become a lot more
Trumpy.
And so there it will,
even in her home state,
be pretty difficult for her to catch up to him.
