COLUMBIA, S.C. — South Carolina Democrats will hold their First in the Nation presidential primary Feb. 3. Whether anyone believes it is truly competitive is in the eye of the beholder.
President Joe Biden, speaking at the state Democratic Party’s First in the Nation celebration Saturday, looked toward the general election, using his remarks to point to his administration’s record and criticize former President Donald Trump
One of Biden’s primary challengers, Minnesota Congressman Dean Phillips, pushed for Democrats to move on to the next generation of leaders in the party. Self-help author Marianne Williamson also remains in the race after discussing with reporters whether she has the money to continue her campaign.
Ultimately the race to a majority of delegates for the August Democratic National Convention kicks off Feb. 3.
In the last week before primary election day, the party and the Democratic candidates are making their final pitches to voters to participate in the primary and not sit at home or cross over to the Feb. 24 GOP primary.
