Jim Clyburn Invites Biden To The Fish Fry!

When in doubt call Jim! Joe Biden seals a big endorsement. 

Joe Biden got one of his biggest endorsements in the fight to save his struggling campaign.

Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC), the House Majority Whip and civil rights activist has formally endorsed the former vice president.

Biden, the former vice president from 2009 to 2017 under Barack Obama is trailing in the delegates and is in need of a strong win in the South Carolina Democratic primary on Saturday.

"I've been saying to the media, I've known for a long time who I'm going to vote for. But I had not decided -- well, not to share it with the public," said Clyburn. "But I want the public to know that I'm voting for Joe Biden. South Carolina should be voting for Joe Biden."

Clyburn's decision helped boast Biden's strong support from Black voters in the state.

Clyburn is one of the highest ranking African American lawmakers in Congress. He has been a long time friend of Obama and Biden and has opened up about his affinity of the former vice president.

Biden has seen a decline in his stakes. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) has been mounting a strong offense against him and has chipped away crucial votes in the primary.

To make matters worse, Republicans are going to meddle in the primary. Since South Carolina is an open primary state and you don't have to declare your party affiliation, Republicans will try to get Biden out the race.

Sanders and Donald J. Trump were notified by U.S. intelligence that Russian backed hackers are going to seek chaos in this election. The Kremlin has dispatched a campaign of disinformation to keep Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Michael Bloomberg and Pete Buttigieg from winning the nomination.

Russia wants Sanders to be the nominee so Trump can use his populist agenda as a weapon to win his reelection.

Biden fears that Trump's deliberate attempt to ask Ukraine to investigate him and his son Hunter damaged his chance at being the nominee. Democrats are fearing that if Sanders becomes the nominee, the down ticket candidates in swing districts could be affected.

Still Biden is a gaffe-prone candidate.

Last week, he spoke at a rally saying that he's running for the Senate. And on the debate stage, he said that 150 million people since 2007 were killed by gun violence. He meant he's running for president and over 150 thousand people were killed by gun violence.

Nonetheless, folks are seizing on the comments. They believe that Biden loses this primary, he's toast.

Clyburn's last minute support could help Biden win his first state.
