Joe Biden won the Democratic primary in South Carolina on Saturday with 96.3% of the vote after Democrats changed their election schedule to protect him.
Biden won South Carolina's 55 delegates. He immediately trashed Trump after the race ended.
“The people of South Carolina have spoken again and I have no doubt that you have put us on the path to winning the presidency again — and making Donald Trump a loser — again,” Biden said.
Shortly after arriving in Los Angeles, Biden released a video congratulating himself on the victory. He stammered heavily as he thanked South Carolina.

South Carolina, thank you for everything. pic.twitter.com/AaPEHljet9

Remember, Democrats previously voted to remove Iowa as their first voting state and replace it with South Carolina to protect Joe Biden.
Apparently, Iowa is very white.
In 2020, Joe Biden struggled to get a spot at all during the Democratic primaries. The best he did was fifth behind Buttigieg and Bernie Sanders.
Biden miraculously won South Carolina in 2020, and Buttigieg, who was ahead, immediately dropped out of the race (most likely on the promise of a Cabinet position).
Biden has previously pushed the Democratic National Committee to change the rules to make South Carolina the first state with the right to vote.
“Historically, Iowa and New Hampshire have been at the top, but Biden chose to move South Carolina to the front of the pack. The shift was not well received in New Hampshire, which held a contest anyway last month. Due to DNC rules boosting South Carolina, that contest was largely symbolic and Biden won as a write-in nominee by a wide margin. In South Carolina, Biden beat his two primary opponents: Rep. Dean Phillips of Minnesota and self-help author Marian Williams. NBC News reported.
Biden visited two black churches in South Carolina last month ahead of the state's Democratic primary.
He lied about his involvement in the civil rights movement and falsely claimed that he was a professor at the University of Pennsylvania – yet he easily won the state.
