SC Democratic Party county chairs say early interest on Cory Booker, Kamala Harris

[RandySF]

If a majority of South Carolina’s Democratic Party county chairs had to pick a presidential nominee today, the choice would come down to a two-person duel, not an open scrum.

With 11 months to go until the Feb. 29, 2020, primary, U.S. Sens. Kamala Harris of California and Cory Booker of New Jersey are the clear popular nods (not necessarily in that order), according to a telephone survey of the party leaders by The Post and Courier.

The trend was seen in all four regions of the state: the Lowcountry, Pee Dee, Midlands and Upstate. Two-thirds of the county officials agreed to offer opinions.
