NBC NewsFebruary 24, 2020
CHARLESTON, S.C. Former Vice President Joe Biden will finish second in the Nevada Democratic presidential caucuses, NBC News projected Sunday night, and will likely earn seven national convention delegates.
The second-place finish, added to the endorsement of South Carolina's top Democrat, Rep. Jim Clyburn which will come Wednesday, NBC News has learned will give Biden momentum heading into this week's South Carolina primary.
***
Official backing from Clyburn, colloquially known as the "South Carolina Kingmaker" for his heavy influence in the state's Democratic politics, could help cement what Biden has predicted would be a first-place finish in South Carolina. Clyburn, who as majority whip is the third-ranking Democrat in the House, will formally endorse Biden ahead of the primary at an event Wednesday, according to two people with firsthand knowledge.
He is the highest-ranking person in House leadership to have backed Biden's candidacy to date.
In a live interview with MSNBC's Kasie Hunt on Sunday night, Biden said he was unaware of Clyburn's backing being made official, adding that it would be "the single most valuable endorsement."
Joe will go to SC with MOMENTUM.
