Obama called Biden to congratulate him after South Carolina victory
Former President Obama reportedly called his former vice president, Joe Biden, on Saturday following Biden's decisive victory in the South Carolina Democratic primary.
Bloomberg reported Sunday evening that the 44th president and Biden shared a congratulatory call Saturday evening after Biden's overwhelming victory, where he won nearly 50 percent of the vote over his closest competitor, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who won almost 20 percent of the vote.
Two sources close to the former president told Bloomberg that Obama will likely not add his endorsement to the list of establishment figures backing Biden, preferring instead to remain neutral during the primary.
Biden has sought to tie his campaign closely to his service in the Obama administration, and has attacked rivals including Sanders for his past criticism of the Democratic former president.
