Nov 2019

Once voting starts in SC the only candidates picking up any substantial earned delegates may be Biden, Warren and Sanders because of the 15% vote threshold rule. Based on this polling even Bernie is at risk in some states. I'm surprised Sienna didn't poll SC since it's the first contest with a decent amount of delegates and also the first contest that mirrors the diversity of the Dem party.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
