There's no reason to at this point. Especially if he loses Nevada badly. If they're serious about supporting someone other than Bernie, they're going to go with the candidate who has the best shot of winning and that isn't Biden at the moment.

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

I'm just not letting the caucusy, non diverse Cha Feb 2020 #28

I agree Cha, that is why S.C. is critical for Joe. He refers to it as the firewall still_one Feb 2020 #40

I'm just hoping trumpgops can't FUBAR the open primaries.. Cha Feb 2020 #43

That's Amy's problem calguy Feb 2020 #60

2 tiny, all-white states with candidates getting single-digit delegates decides nothing. brush Feb 2020 #63

True, but you can count on the media hyping to no end still_one Feb 2020 #67

Michael Bloomberg isn't on the ballot in SC. W_HAMILTON Feb 2020 #3

yet he is already at 8.2% in SC and climbing daily at 538 Celerity Feb 2020 #72

He shouldn't even be included in the polls there. W_HAMILTON Feb 2020 #75

remains to be seen what his final % is, write-in totals can sometimes be surprisingly high Celerity Feb 2020 #76

This is a far different situation. W_HAMILTON Feb 2020 #77

Gee Whiz what makes SC different?? HMMMM oh black people live there. nt UniteFightBack Feb 2020 #5

Yes and they too may abandon Biden just like others. Drunken Irishman Feb 2020 #14

That's fine they'll go to Bloomberg and then so will I. There is NO DOUBT about that. nt UniteFightBack Feb 2020 #15

Not in South Carolina though jimfields33 Feb 2020 #69

".. may.." may not. Cha Feb 2020 #35

I'd be very surprised if they stick with him. Drunken Irishman Feb 2020 #70

My graduating class in high school was 93% African American. Gore1FL Feb 2020 #27

I agree it's not a lock but a hold and if he loses their love they'll move right over to Bloomie. UniteFightBack Feb 2020 #30

Not with 2 neighboring candidates running in NH, what did people expect ?! uponit7771 Feb 2020 #92

I have to agree with you. Joe is running a lackluster race. Blue_true Feb 2020 #7

Sorry to disappoint you, but Biden isn't going anywhere until after Super Tuesday wisteria Feb 2020 #32

As I said above, if Biden does well in S.C., he will do well on Super Tuesday still_one Feb 2020 #52

I had hoped. Fickle and divided party, great as it is, will make things tough this election. It emmaverybo Feb 2020 #44

Taking Sanders as an example, he lost 50% of the support he had in 2016 still_one Feb 2020 #54

Will they? Biden rises or sinks, but those states, or rather "the buzz," has already altered emmaverybo Feb 2020 #59

That buzz missed what happened to Pete in Iowa, and Amy in third place in NH still_one Feb 2020 #64

I think he's done too. cwydro Feb 2020 #11

Bloomberg's strategy is working - cause Biden supporters to panic. Panic even when he's not on SC Skya Rhen Feb 2020 #21
