“Just days ago, the press and the pundits had declared this candidacy dead,' Joe Biden said tonight after his win in South Carolina. 'Now thanks to all of you... we've just won and we won big because of you. And we are very much alive!” The latest:
COLUMBIA, S.C. — Joe Biden notched his first election win Saturday in this first-in-the-South state on the strength of widespread support from black voters — a triumph that he's hoping will propel him on Super Tuesday and then into a one-on-one race against Bernie Sanders.
Earlier in the day, Biden stopped by the Phillis Wheatley Community Center polling station in Greenville and predicted a win, but refused to predict a margin. “The bigger the win, the bigger the bump," he said. “I will be the first to say that the first four contests haven't gone exactly as I had hoped,” Warren acknowledged in her concession speech, vowing to fight on.
As a chorus of pundits and Democratic establishment figures began expressing concerns about Bloomberg’s candidacy, his campaign issued a statement looking forward to the contest ahead.
