President Joe Biden is expected to secure a significant victory in the South Carolina Democratic primary on Feb. 3, which will allow the incumbent to cement his nomination and sideline both his primary challengers and critics who have raised concerns about his age and performance.

Following the New Hampshire primaries, the Biden campaign has already made it clear that the president is preparing for a potential rematch with his predecessor, former President Donald Trump.
