'The pundits declared me dead': Joe Biden claims resurrection after massive South Carolina primary win

Joe Biden says he has been brought back from the dead with a decisive victory in the South Carolina primary, during an emotional speech thanking the Palmetto State for giving his campaign a fresh chance.

"To all of those of you who have been nocked down, counted out, left behind, this is your campaign," Mr Biden said at his campaign's celebration party in Columbia. "Just days ago the press and the pundits had declared this candidacy dead. Now, thanks to all of you, the heart of the Democratic Party, we just won and we won big because of you. And we are very much alive."
