Rep. James Clyburn slams Trump’s praise for Robert E. Lee: ‘The president is now glorifying a loser’
One of the most influential Democrats in South Carolina said Sunday that former Vice President Joe Biden is"probably the leader" in the key early primary state, but cautioned that it's still early in the 2020 presidential campaign.
"Democrats are going to have to improve our status among rural voters," he adds https://t.co/roEHHHzDnS #ThisWeek pic.twitter.com/8QdXjA0oCaBack in January, Clyburn said that if Biden entered the Democratic field,"everybody else would be running for second place." Clyburn told ABC News Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos that Biden was"absolutely" right to invoke the deadly 2017 clash between white nationalists and counterprotesters in Charlottesville, Virginia in his announcement video on Thursday. In the video, Biden repeats Trump’s heavily-criticized response to that day, in which he said there were “very fine people on both sides.”
"I think that's what the crux of this campaign is going to be about," Clyburn said."It’s going to be about who can bring this country together. And for anybody who is running for the presidential nomination on the Democratic side, I think you've got to focus on bringing this country together on the domestic front, and you've got to think about our international relationships around the world.
