While the voting was still underway in South Carolina on Saturday, the former vice president made a quick side trip to Raleigh.
“Put me in coach, I’m ready to play,” Biden said at a rally at St. Augustine’s University.
If North Carolina voters on Tuesday give him back-to-back Carolina victories, Biden said “it’s a straight path to a nomination for president of the United States of America.”
But recent polls indicated a close race in North Carolina between Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders. Biden also appeared to be out-organized and lacking resources in many Super Tuesday states, particularly delegate-rich California.
What will the South Carolina results do to the Democratic landscape with so little time before Tuesday’s vote?
