Biden is riding high in South Carolina. With Super Tuesday in 5 days, it might not be enough
Super Tuesday takes place in five days and will award a third of the total delegates awarded as part of the Democratic nomination.
Just a week ago, his lead over Sen. Bernie Sanders in polling averages was as tight as 2%. Now the gap is in the double digits. And that difference was already widening when, on Wednesday, Biden, Rep. James Clyburn, the House majority whip. Public polling and interviews with Democrats around the state suggest that Biden will do well. In particular, Biden is expected to outperform among black voters, especially those who are older or religious.
"I've talked to a lot of people about Bernie," Adams said of Sanders, who has become the front-runner in the race for the nomination. "They don't understand 'Medicare for All,' that situation. He's not answering questions. He's vague about how he's going to make it happen. They are a little suspect about that, so I think that's a turnoff.
In comparison, Sanders has spent $13.5 million on airtime in the states, with seven figures each in just Texas, North Carolina and Colorado,Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar has spent $3.5 million on television, former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg has spent $1.6 million, and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren has spent more than $900,000, according to the outlet.
Biden's disadvantage carries over to staffing, where an NBC analysis of payroll data shows that Biden has a team about half the size of the ones campaigning for Bloomberg and Sanders. Warren's campaign is the biggest in the field.
