Joe Biden, trying to catch Bernie Sanders, puts all his chips on South Carolina

LA Times  

Former Vice President Joe Biden, leaving Las Vegas behind, is placing all his chips on South Carolina as his best — and perhaps last — chance to reverse a string of losses in early-voting states and mount a serious challenge to Sen. Bernie Sanders for the Democratic nomination. “He’s moving up,” Clay Middleton, a South Carolina political strategist who advised New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker’s unsuccessful presidential campaign, said. The election is “about taking back our country,” she told an audience of several hundred in Fargo, N.D. “It’s about stopping the mean tweets at 4 in the morning and stopping the drama.” Biden’s campaign, by contrast, has moved staff from Super Tuesday states to South Carolina. Biden’s strength in South Carolina among black voters is widely attributed to his role as vice president to Barack Obama, who remains a hero to many in the state. “It’s nothing to walk into a restaurant in South Carolina and see Joe Biden, or to go to church and see Joe Biden,” said Clyburn.
