With former VP Joe Biden’s campaign back from the dead after a landslide South Carolina win, US President Donald Trump taunted another Democratic hopeful, Mike Bloomberg, urging him to drop out of the race in Biden’s favor.
Shortly after South Carolina primary exit polls pointed to a convincing Biden’s victory in the fourth and final early voting contest ahead of the Super Tuesday, Trump took to Twitter to send a ‘congratulatory’ message of his own, taking aim at fellow billionaire Bloomberg in the process.
“Sleepy Joe Biden’s victory in the South Carolina Democrat Primary should be the end of Mini Mike Bloomberg’s Joke of a campaign,” Trump tweeted, arguing that Bloomberg, who is staking everything on Super Tuesday, should called it quits on his campaign so he does not spoil Biden’s chances.
After the worst debate performance in the history of presidential debates, Mini Mike now has Biden split up his very few voters, taking many away!

Multiple outlets called the South Carolina primary in Biden’s favor shortly after the polls closed at 7.00 pm ET.
According to exit poll data by Edison Research, Biden is on course to win at least 14 delegates from 54 for grabs in the fourth and final early voting contest.
Looking forward to bag his first victory in the so far listless campaign, Biden has relied heavily on black voters.
