President Joe Biden has won South Carolina’s Democratic primary, notching a victory in the state that he pushed to lead the party’s nominating calendar. Biden on Saturday defeated the other Democrats on South Carolina’s ballot, including Minnesota Rep. Dean Phillips and author Marianne Williamson. Black voters play an outsized role in South Carolina’s Democratic electorate, and Biden and other party leaders had recommended that the state lead off the party’s 2024 primary calendar. A big win in South Carolina helped revive Biden’s 2020 campaign and propel him to the nomination.
