HOUSTON — Michael Bloomberg’s pitch that he’s the center-left Democrat best positioned to thump both socialist Bernie Sanders and their Republican opponent, President Trump, took its own beating with Joe Biden’s win in South Carolina.
Biden, 77, salvaged his presidential campaign on Saturday when he won the first-in-the-South primary, his first victory of the 2020 Democratic race. Though still trailing Sanders, the Vermont senator, in the all-important delegate count before the party’s nominating convention this summer in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the two-term vice president heads into Super Tuesday on firmer footing.
