How to watch South Carolina’s Democratic primary tonight

The Democratic presidential nomination race between Vermont Sen.

Briana Williams, a 20-year-old Claflin psychology major from Sumter, S.C., said, “I like Bernie”, but she added: “South Carolina is history”.

Hillary Clinton has a commanding 26 point lead over Democratic presidential rival Bernie Sanders in a new Quinnipiac University Poll released Friday.

After Donald Trump’s barrage of wins, all eyes are turning to the South Carolina Democratic Primary.

Instead, he is focusing on states that will vote in March like OH and Minnesota. In some states, we’re going to lose. He says he’s surprised by Sanders’ success in Wisconsin. “We are closing the gap very, very significantly”.

At the beginning of this week, Clinton campaigned in SC with mothers whose children have died from gun violence. As she has in other states, Clinton scores extremely well among black voters, who support her 70.5 percent to Sanders 17.5 percent. Similar electorates will vote in Georgia, Alabama and Arkansas on March 1, in Louisiana on March 5 and in MS on March 8.

Team Clinton, former president Bill, daughter Chelsea and Hillary herself – are hitting black churches and college campuses to hammer away at the same message. “This is his first time around the park”.

Only three percent of delegates for July’s nominating convention in Philadelphia will be awarded by the end of the day.

Polls carried out last week gave Clinton a clear advantage in SC: about 56 per cent compared to 28 per cent for Bernie Sanders.

“I believe she has done her groundwork”, he said. The historical polling averages in the state show that although Sanders’ numbers have improved since the fall, Clinton continues to dominate. He’s also a major figure in South Carolina’s Democratic politics; during the controversy over Democratic debates, Clyburn was able to secure an MSNBC candidate forum at Winthrop University.

In Mississippi, scores of Democrats, including Rep. Bennie Thompson and Jackson Mayor Tony Yarber, have endorsed Clinton, saying she has the best chance to win the general election. He reminded the crowd of Clinton joining President Barack Obama’s Cabinet despite their bitter 2008 primary.

“If she’s elected, she can hit the ground running, she’s familiar with foreign policy”, said Sylvia Robinson, 64, a retired educator who attended the Orangeburg event.

Still, Sanders said this week that he wasn’t giving up on SC, despite his sporadic presence in the state.
