The polls closed\u2062 at 7 p.m., and with just \u206316% of the ballots counted, Biden held a\u2064 commanding lead with 97% of \u2062the vote.\u2064 This \u200bvictory solidifies his \u200cdominance over challengers\u2062 Marianne Williamson and Rep. Dean Phillips.<\/p>\n<h3>Speculation Over Biden&#8217;s Candidacy Put to Rest<\/h3>\n<p>Despite announcing his reelection bid last\u2063 spring, there has been\u2062 speculation among media pundits and\u2062 top \u2064Democratic lawmakers about replacing\u2064 Biden as the party&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/joe-biden-knows-he-messed-up-on-fracking-at-debate-and-is-now-doing-damage-control-the-daily-wire\/\" title=\"Joe Biden Knows He Messed Up On Fracking At Debate And Is Now Doing Damage Control | The Daily Wire\">presidential candidate<\/a>. Concerns\u200b about his \u2064age and\u2062 performance in\u200b the White\u2064 House fueled these discussions. However, Biden&#8217;s strong performance in South Carolina, with\u2064 support\u200c from prominent national Democrats like Gov. Gavin Newsom\u200b and former First Lady \u200bMichelle Obama,\u2062 puts an end to these rumors.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Tonight, just \u200dthree \u200ddays into Black History Month, black voters have made our\u2063 voices heard, and we&#8217;re going to \u200blaunch our President\u2062 Biden back \u2063to the White House. I&#8217;ve\u2062 said it before: The South has something to say.&#8221;\u200d &#8211; Christale Spain, South Carolina Democratic \u2062Party chair<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Democrats made the win that happened tonight, and we did\u2062 it through months of hard work \u200cand dedication. All eyes were on\u2063 South Carolina, and you all got us and delivered.&#8221; &#8211; Jaime Harrison,\u2062 Democratic National Committee \u200cchairman<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Rep. Jim Clyburn, a co-chairman of \u200bBiden&#8217;s campaign, shared that he had just spoken with the\u200c president and promised to call him back shortly. Clyburn then returned to the stage with Biden on speaker \u200bphone, where the president \u2062thanked voters for their support.<\/p>\n<h3>Strong Support\u200c from Black Voters<\/h3>\n<p>Biden\u200b saw significant early voting support from black\u2062 voters, which was crucial for his campaign to\u200b counter\u2064 the narrative that his support from minority voters\u2063 had declined during his time in office. Black voters turned out in high numbers during South Carolina&#8217;s \u2063<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/anti-abortion-group-blames-ohio-gop-for-amendment-loss-not-a-test-of-pro-life\/\" title=\"Ohio GOP blamed by anti-abortion group for amendment loss, claims it's not a pro-life test.\">early \u200dvoting period<\/a>,\u2062 accounting for 76.5% of all votes cast leading up to the election.<\/p>\n<h3>Low Overall Turnout<\/h3>\n<p>Despite Biden&#8217;s victory, \u200boverall turnout appeared to be low, with\u200b many urban polling locations reporting only a few dozen voters by \u2062early afternoon. This could be attributed to South Carolina&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-waltzes-to-victory-in-south-carolinas-first-in-the-nation-primary\/\" title=\"Biden easily wins South Carolina's primary\">open primary structure<\/a>, allowing registered Democrats, Republicans, and independent voters to choose\u200b which primary to participate in.<\/p>\n<p>South Carolina \u200cis expected to vote \u2064Republican in\u200b the November election, \u2063and Biden did\u200b not attend the state party&#8217;s\u200d primary night celebration. However, he made efforts to connect with South Carolina voters through radio interviews, emphasizing his commitment to\u200d black voters and promising not to take their support for\u200b granted.<\/p>\n<p>This\u2062 year&#8217;s primary marked the first \u2064time the state Democratic Party held a contested primary for an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/billionaire-tied-to-jeffrey-epstein-just-gave-biden-a-massive-gift\/\" title=\"Billionaire linked to Epstein gifts Biden a huge donation.\">incumbent \u200dpresident<\/a>. South Carolina \u200chas been a reliable predictor\u2064 of Democratic presidential nominees since 1992, and Biden chose to prioritize the state \u200das a thank-you for its role in\u200c revitalizing his 2020 campaign.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What factors contributed to President Joe Biden&#8217;s resounding win \u200bin the South Carolina Democratic presidential \u200dprimary?<\/h2>\n<p><span> <\/p>\n<p>President \u200cJoe Biden emerged victorious in\u2063 the South Carolina Democratic presidential\u2063 primary, solidifying his position as the frontrunner for his party&#8217;s nomination in the upcoming 2024\u200b election. \u200dDespite earlier speculation\u200b and doubts about \u2064his candidacy, Biden&#8217;s resounding win in South Carolina\u200c puts those concerns to rest.<\/p>\n<p>The polls closed at 7\u200d p.m., and with\u2063 only 16% of the ballots counted, it was clear \u200dthat Biden had a commanding lead \u2062with 97% of the vote.

Dean Phillips, underscoring Biden&#8217;s dominance in this crucial primary race.<\/p>\n<p>However, leading up to \u2063the South Carolina primary, there had been discussions among media \u2063pundits and top Democratic lawmakers about potentially replacing Biden as the \u200cparty&#8217;s \u2063presidential candidate. Concerns about his age and performance \u200bin the White House fueled\u200d these \u2062speculations.
