Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders would work on behalf of 'the least, the fallen, the left behind,' said South Carolina council member Dalhi Myers.
A South Carolina council member who endorsed former Vice President Joe Biden in the 2020 Democratic presidential race just last month has shifted her support to Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders as the"right" choice.
The council member said that she had previously joined a number of South Carolina elected officials in endorsing Biden as a"compromise choice." Lately, however, she said she had been starting to feel that Biden's campaign was not strong enough to inspire young voters, whereas Sanders' campaign appeared to have some of the energy the former vice president's bid lacked.
Ultimately, Myers said, the decision to pull her support from Biden and invest it in Sanders' bid was one she made as"a realist."
