Biden was almost out of money by the time South Carolina voted. Most people were counting him out, but the voters in South Carolina spoke and he begin his rapid rise.

It wasn't money that led him to his current lead. It was voters. That's a grassroots thing, by definition.

Bernie just didn't turn out enough voters when it mattered.

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