Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Joe Biden lands 2020 presidential endorsement from SC senator
https://www.thestate.com/news/politics-government/election/article234744157.htmlA South Carolina state senator and two-time Democratic candidate for governor has endorsed Joe Biden for president.
State Sen. Vincent Sheheen told The State this week he will support the former vice president in the states February Democratic presidential primary. And, should Biden be the partys nominee, Sheheen said he will work to ensure Biden crosses the finish line.

Sheheen could help Biden with his ground game, having run twice for governor in 2010 and then again in 2014 against Republican Nikki Haley. In the pairs first match up, Sheheen lost by less than 5 percentage points, giving hope to Democrats that they could take back a statewide office. (In the rematch, he did not come so close, losing by about 14 percentage points.)
The senator said he does not anticipate having a formal role with the campaign but has offered any assistance when necessary, including introducing Biden to state leaders and to the State House and holding events in his Senate district.
Should Biden be the nominee, Sheheen said he is willing to stump for the former Delaware senator in swing states and talk to undecided voters, independents and moderates about why they should support Biden for president.
