Joe-mentum? Photo: Sean Rayford/Getty Images Joe Biden’s resounding victory in South Carolina could help reshape the race — or might just be a bump in Bernie Sanders’s road. I spoke with national political correspondent Gabriel Debenedetti about what the Sanders campaign is thinking, who might drop out before Tuesday, and more.
Gabriel: Sanders himself doesn’t seem too bothered by it, perhaps because he remembers getting crushed in South Carolina in 2016. But it is true that he and his team were hoping to do better there, and that they’re happy to be in the Super Tuesday states. They still feel good, but clearly Biden is feeling strength that he didn’t have just a few hours ago. The question now is whether that translates to Tuesday, or if it’s too soon.
Ben: Indeed. Shortly after Biden’s win was apparent, former Obama campaign manager David Plouffe said on MSNBC what many are thinking: That it’s a two-person race between Biden and Sanders, with the implication that other contenders should drop out posthaste. Tom Steyer announced that he was calling it quits Saturday night; Bloomberg, with his massive Super Tuesday spending, is unlikely to do so in the next three days.
Ben: Even before Biden underperformed in Iowa and New Hampshire, he had way less cash on hand than Sanders and others. With this huge win and the dawning reality that he’s probably the moderates’ best hope to win, will the cash start pouring in?
