Biden 'Blowout' In South Carolina Primary? Not So Fast...


Although Democrats and left-wing activists celebrated President Joe Biden’s apparent “blow-out” victory in the recent Democratic primary in South Carolina, there’s more to the story.

Biden did win with around 96 percent of the vote, but WMBF reported that voter turnout across the state was exceptionally low, at less than 5 percent.

“In total, South Carolina saw 131,870 ballots cast for the 2024 primary out of just over 3.2 million registered voters – which accounts for just 4.09 percent,” the outlet noted. “Just three counties, Orangeburg, Lee, and Williamsburg, each saw turnout rates higher than 10%.”

That’s hardly a resounding vote of confidence.

The decrease in voter turnout comes despite Democratic Party leaders’ efforts to position South Carolina as the first state in the nation’s primary schedule. However, it ended up being the second Democratic primary after New Hampshire. Nonetheless, South Carolina was the first primary to feature Biden as a candidate on the ballot, as he had previously won as a write-in candidate in New Hampshire.

Concerns regarding President Biden’s cognitive decline are on the rise, especially after the White House announced over the weekend that he would once again skip the pre-game Super Bowl interview for the second consecutive year, despite it being an election year.

Politico reported: “Presidents have traditionally sought to leverage the marquee football event’s broad viewership, making Biden’s decision particularly notable in an election year.”

In the past, Biden participated in interviews during Super Bowl broadcasts on NBC and CBS. However, he opted out of participating in an interview last year when Fox aired the game. This year, with CBS set to broadcast the Super Bowl on February 11, the White House has confirmed that Biden will once again not be participating in an interview, as initially reported by Variety.

“We hope viewers enjoy watching what they tuned in for — the game,” White House spokesperson Ben LaBolt told Variety.

It’s likely that Biden’s absence from two consecutive Super Bowl interviews will prompt fresh speculation about the White House’s confidence in his cognitive abilities.

Biden’s current cognitive state is already putting the country at risk, but it’s only “going to get worse,” according to a former White House doctor who served during Biden’s vice presidency.

Dr. Ronny Jackson, who is now a GOP congressman from Texas, has regularly sounded the alarm bell regarding Biden’s obvious decline in mental capacity and did so again in late December as it becomes more apparent that the president is struggling more.

“[The decline is] happening quickly,” Jackson told “Sunday Morning Futures” guest host Sean Duffy, Fox News reported.
