What Went Down At The South Carolina Primary

I wonder if voters interpreted the Nevada results as, “OK, Biden is the alternative to Sanders.”

I’m about 50 percent subscribed to that take, with the rest going to “South Carolina is a good state for Biden.”

We didn’t get four different winners in the early states, but we did get four different outcomes in terms of who won the most pledged delegates:

• Iowa: Buttigieg
• New Hampshire: Sanders and Buttigieg tie
• Nevada: Sanders
• South Carolina: Biden

Right, I could see a very different breakdown between Sanders and Biden in say, California, when it comes to black voter support. South Carolina has a lot of moderate voters — both black and white.
