Joe Biden is now projected to win South Carolina by a wide margin over Bernie Sanders.
South Carolina Democrats are generally more conservative than Democrats in the other states (at least, other non-southern states) and a large percentage of them are black.
While Bernie Sanders has a good share of the youth vote across races, older Democrats in SC are thought to be all-in for Uncle Joe.
Biden got the coveted (and emotional) public endorsement of SC senator and House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn yesterday, and it looks like SC is one state where Biden's years of working with Barack Obama may give him a big boost.
The SC primary will go down on Saturday.
