Hillary Clinton wins SC primary

The truth is that Sanders can still win enough delegates from future states to clinch the nomination, but would have to defy poll numbers that show growing support nationwide for Clinton.

Multiple news outlets called the race for Clinton shortly after polls closed at 7 p.m. Saturday evening. “We are not taking anything for granted”.

For Sanders, strong showings in March are more important because of Clinton’s lead with superdelegates – the party leaders who can support any candidates regardless of how their states vote. “Instead of building walls we need to be taking down barriers”. “I know that America can’t live up to its potential unless every person in our country has a chance to live up to his or hers”. “We need to show by everything that we do that we really are in this together”. He was in Texas earlier Saturday and also held an event in Minnesota.

One of the voters explained why she chose Clinton over Sanders.

“Let me be clear on one thing tonight”, Sanders wrote in the email.

He vowed to fight on aggressively, saying: “This campaign is just beginning”. “We won a decisive victory in New Hampshire”.

Sanders was outmatched in SC, where being a self-proclaimed democratic socialist failed to win over voters in the centrist state.

Focus will be on “Super Tuesday” where more than a dozen states hold primaries and caucuses for both parties.

But not everyone was confident that Clinton was about to be anointed with the Democratic nomination.

When Sanders landed in Minneapolis, he told reporters the loss was all part of the process.

“We have so much ugliness and so much violence that I don’t think the government should be involved in that violence and killing people”, Sanders said.

Eight years ago, she lost the state overwhelmingly to then Senator Barack Obama. Sanders will continue to gather delegates to have more of a voice in the party, including some influence on the Democratic convention platform in Philadelphia. She won the overwhelming support of black voters on her way to a commanding victory over Vermont Sen.

While he never expected to win South Carolina, Sanders has been able to use the state to test his message towards African-American voters especially that could help him in later states.

Elementary school teacher Alicia Newman said she was torn but ultimately voted for Clinton. Most white voters said that Clinton can be trusted, but four in 10 disagreed. “I believe 100 percent for pay equity for women and African American women doing the same job as white man should be earning the same pay”.

Clinton ate into Sanders’ advantage among young voters.

It’s the first contest where a majority of the electorate has been made up of minority voters.

“She is the best for everyone, not just for the blacks”, said a 30-year-old housekeeper who is black and voted for Mrs. Clinton in a middle-class neighborhood in downtown Columbia. Bernie Sanders, according to the exit poll conducted for The Associated Press and television networks by Edison Research. Her speech also took a turn for the more somber when she named the mothers of black children and adults who have been killed in recent months in police confrontations.
