Joe Biden speaks at a primary night election rally in Columbia, South Carolina.

“I think we’ve got a great chance to win in California, in Texas, in Massachusetts and a number of states,” Sanders said Sunday on CBS. The victory there, powered by support from black voters, was Biden’s first in the race, but came at a crucial time, helping dispel some earlier doubts about the 77-year-old’s energy level and broad appeal.South Carolina added another bit of clarity: billionaire businessman Tom Steyer, who spent a whopping US$23 million campaigning in the state, dropped out of the race on Saturday after taking just 11% of the vote.

But Buttigieg, who won only 8% of the South Carolina vote after notching far better results in the earlier states, appeared to be softening his tone on Sunday. Biden argued on Sunday that as a centrist, he would be far more effective atop the party’s ticket in November against Trump than Sanders, who calls himself a democratic socialist.
