South Carolina will host the first 2028 Democratic Presidential Primary

With the overwhelming support of African-American voters, Democratic Sen. Barack Obama easily won the hard-fought 2008 South Carolina Democratic primary.

Joe Biden swept the 2020 South Carolina Democratic primary by winning all 46 counties in the state. Black voters accounted for 56% of the nearly 540,000 South Carolinians who cast ballots in the 2020 presidential primary. Biden won then with nearly 49% of the total, or just over 262,300 votes. Second-place finisher, U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, was 30 percentage points behind, a landslide at the time.

Black voters make up 60% of the Democratic electorate in South Carolina, giving them an outsized role in determining who wins the state’s presidential primary. Every candidate who has pulled out a win in South Carolina, which comes with 55 pledged delegates, has gone on to win the presidency–with one exception being John Edwards in 2004.
