Joe Biden earns coveted endorsement from 'South Carolina kingmaker' Jim Clyburn
Joe Biden has earned the endorsement of South Carolina congressman Jim Clyburn, bolstering the fomer vice president's prospects just days before the state's Democratic primary voters head to the polls.
Mr Clyburn is the majority whip in the House of Representatives, the state's most influential Democrat and the highest-ranking black member of Congress.
His support could prove invaluable for Mr Biden, who has faced middling support in the Democratic primary race so-far and is hoping for a strong performance in South Carolina, where he has counted on support from black voters. Mr Clyburn, according to South Carolina's Post and Courier has been known among some poltiical observers as South Carolina Deomcrats's "kingmaker".
