US primaries in South Carolina: Biden finally wants to get started. The South Carolina primaries could show whether Biden can continue to rely on the Black vote.

Only 50 percent of Black adults said they were satisfied with Biden's job, a significant decline from 86 percent in July 2021. And a New York Times -Siena poll in late October found that 22% of Black voters in six battleground states would vote for Trump. That would indeed be a real problem for Biden. The mood in the USA is bad, enthusiasm for the president is limited and his popularity ratings are in the basement.
