Former Vice President Joe Biden to test waters with voters in South Carolina.
Former Vice President Joe Biden made his first stop of his presidential campaign on Saturday to connect with African American voters in Columbia, South Carolina — a group that represents a large component of the Democratic electorate in that region — with a strong message.
“By the way he’s a hell of a guy. Over eight years I watched him. He has enormous integrity. Nobody I ever worked with is smarter. He’s a decent, decent decent man. And folks I think he’s one of the best presidents we’ve ever ever had,” Biden said in reference to Obama Biden has long ties to the Palmetto state due, in large part, to his friendships with late Senators Strom Thurmond and Fritz Hollings.
Biden also campaigned for several candidates in the state in the 2018 midterm elections – including gubernatorial candidate James Smith and Biden’s longtime adviser Dick Harpootlian for the state Senate. Biden arrives in South Carolina with the wind at his back and early frontrunner status in several polls including a poll conducted by SSRS for CNN on the Thursday after he announced which showed 39% of Democrats or Democratic-leaning independents say his is their top pick for the party's nomination. In that poll, he is at least 20 point ahead of his nearest rival, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont.
Biden enters as the early frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination in the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll, albeit with a decided tilt toward older voters that could define the party’s 2020 contest as a generational showdown.
