Joe Biden Triumphs in the South Carolina Primary -- Can He Capitalize On The Momentum?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

My brain: Don’t say it. Don’t say it. Don’t say it.

Me: JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOEMENTUM!!!

Sound the starting pistol, the former vice president of the United States has secured his long-prophesied victory in the South Carolina primary, according to network projections, may now begin his classic car cruise to the Democratic nominating convention in Milwaukee… Well, “cruise” may be overstating it, but Joe Biden’s candidacy, which would likely not have survived a decisive loss in the state, now has at least a fighting shot. And, in all seriousness, a big, earnest congrats to Biden, who 32 years after declaring his first candidacy for president, has at long last won a real, live primary contest.

With 98 percent of the precincts reporting, it appears Biden will put-put-put out of the Palmetto state with nearly half of the overall vote: 48.6 percent. The former Delaware senator is trailed by Bernie Sanders with 19 percent, and Tom Steyer with 11. Pete Buttigieg (8 percent) and Elizabeth Warren (7 percent) and Amy Klobuchar (3 percent) bring up the rear. Biden is on track to collect 29 delegates from the contest, putting him in second place heading into Super Tuesday. Sanders, who remains in first place in the delegate count, is poised to add 9 more delegates to his existing 45.
