The fourth primary contest for Democratic candidates seeking their party’s nomination for president takes place on Saturday in South Carolina. Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-VT) has emerged as the frontrunner in this primary contest, after strong performances in states that have voted thus far. South Carolina is comprised of voters that would favor former Vice President Joe Biden, particularly African-American voters, which may be the previous frontrunner’s last hope to turn the race around. Biden currently leads Sanders in most polls, but Sanders received a bump after he won the Nevada primary last Saturday. The former vice president is confident in his electoral advantage in South Carolina, calling it his “firewall.”
