A left-leaning article by The New York Times highlights Biden’s persistent attitude towards winning South Carolina, stating that he has lurched into a moment suited to his political brand: many setbacks, little discipline, no quit. The article notes that several polls this week showed him leading by double digits in South Carolina, while others showed a closer margin, as his advisors are hopeful that a strong victory on Saturday will propel him into Super Tuesday with enough momentum to catch up to Senator Bernie Sanders.
NPR published a centrist article reporting that no one has more riding on South Carolina than Biden, especially after his disappointing finishes in Iowa and New Hampshire. In South Carolina, black voters are crucial, and Biden got the endorsement of popular longtime South Carolina Rep. Jim Clyburn.
A right-leaning article by Fox News reports that Joe Biden got emotional during a televised South Carolina town hall when he was asked about his faith and how it would influence his presidential decisions. He pointed to his faith giving him a sense of purpose, especially after the death of his son in 2015, and the death of his wife and daughter in 1972.
