CHARLESTON COUNTY, S.C. (WCBD) Bernie Sanders is replacing his state director in the critical early-voting state of South Carolina.
Sanders presidential campaign tells The Associated Press that Jessica Bright now heads the campaign in South Carolina. Bright had been Sanders deputy state director and previously was political director for Democrat Joe Cunningham*s upset win in South Carolinas 1st Congressional District last year.
Bright replaces Kwadjo Campbell, a former member of the Charleston City Council. The campaign provided no details on Campbells departure.
Sanders campaign co-chair Nina Turner tells The Associated Press that, Campaigns arent for everybody, and we wish him well.

*For the record, Progressive Punch rates Joe Cunningham 230th of 233 Democratic members of Congress in the current session. He's rated lower than even Henry Cuellar, who is being primaries by Justice Democrats!!

Sarah Ford, a campaign spokeswoman, confirmed that Jessica Bright would replace Kwadjo Campbell. She did not respond to a question about why Sanders made the change.
Sanders is trailing Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren in the crucial primary state. In a RealClearPolitics average of polls between Oct. 3 and Oct. 21, Biden had support of 35% of the states likely Democratic voters, while Warren had 15.5% and Sanders had 12.8%.
In 2016, Sanders lost South Carolina by 47.5 points to eventual Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, largely because he failed to appeal to the states critical bloc of African American voters. He has launched a broad effort to improve his standing in the state for 2020 against Biden, who is deeply popular with black voters.
