NSTworld: The win has earned JoeBiden badly needed campaign funding – US$10 million raised on Saturday and Sunday alone.
As candidates including national frontrunner Bernie Sanders make a final pitch to voters in 14 states, Biden has capitalized on the momentum he seized at the weekend with a blowout victory in South Carolina.
“We need real results and we need them now. I’ve done that my whole career, and I’ll do it as president,” added Biden, who was to take the stage later Monday in Dallas, where Klobuchar will join him. The pair of departures give Biden, whose campaign was on life support just two weeks ago after disappointing showings in the first three state contests, a sudden opening to challenge Sanders on the biggest day of the primary campaign.
The race, however, has taken a sudden and unexpected twist with the withdrawal of Buttigieg and Klobuchar. Biden’s fortunes were resurrected in South Carolina, where African-Americans turned out in force to give him a crushing 48 percent to 20 percent victory over Sanders. The former deputy to president Barack Obama says his strength with blacks, Hispanics, women and suburbanites will show in the coming contests.
