As expected, President Joe Biden coasted to victory in the South Carolina Democratic primary on Saturday, winning more than 96% of the vote. The Democrats made South Carolina the first official contest in this year’s presidential nominating calendar in an effort to have early voting reflect a more diverse population.

The election, called by The Associated Press shortly after polls closed, gives Mr. Biden the first set of delegates required to claim the Democratic nomination at the party’s convention in August.
Mr. Biden won an overwhelming majority of South Carolina Democrats, more than 96 percent with 80 percent of the vote counted — dominating every county with more than 95 percent of the vote, including in heavily Black areas.
The South Carolina Democratic Party said early vote data showed that the share of Black voters in the electorate was 13 percent higher than in 2020, when people of color made up about half of the voters in the Democratic primary and there was no Republican primary to siphon off voters.
