WATCH: Biden Slips Into Southern Drawl After Declaring South Carolina Victory; Bizarrely Claims He was Arrested in South Africa; Now He’s Already Making Excuses for Super Tuesday
By Breitbart. Former Vice President Joe Biden slipped into using a Southern accent while addressing supporters after a resounding win in the South Carolina primary.
Biden, who on Saturday won his first nominating contest despite having run for the presidency twice before, was all smiles at his victory party. Some on social media, however, noticed that the former vice president seemed to take on a Southern accent while speaking.
“If Democrats nominate me,” the 77-year-old Biden said midway through in his regular voice, before switching into an affected southern accent, “I believe, we can beat Donald Trump.”

The bizarre moment comes after a week of pronounced Biden gaffes while campaigning throughout South Carolina. First, Biden told an uncorroborated story about having been arrested while attempting to visit Nelson Mandela in a South African prison sometime in the late-1970s. The story, which vexed both allies and critics, was quickly walked back, but not before generating headlines.

Biden Calls SC Primary ‘Real Comeback’ as He Sets Sights on Super Tuesday
By Fox News. Former Vice President Joe Biden called his victory in Saturday night’s South Carolina Democratic primary “a real comeback” as he looks to carry momentum into the upcoming Super Tuesday primaries.
Biden, who appeared on “Fox News Sunday,” seemed confident that the South Carolina win shows he can challenge his Democratic presidential primary rival Bernie Sanders and reclaim the mantle as his party’s front-runner in the race to battle President Trump in November’s general election.
“It’s a big boost,” Biden said. “I think it starts the real comeback and we picked up a lot of delegates.” (Read more from “Biden Calls SC Primary ‘Real Comeback’ as He Sets Sights on Super Tuesday” HERE)

Biden Is Already Making Excuses for Super Tuesday
By Townhall. Having finally won an election, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden is already making excuses ahead of Super Tuesday. Biden won a decisive victory in South Carolina on Saturday, but 14 other states are voting this week, and some of the polls aren’t looking very promising for the gaffe-prone former veep. On NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday, host Chuck Todd asked the candidate about his prospects on Super Tuesday, specifically in California where some 416 delegates are up for grabs. Biden refused to set any specific standards to measure his performance ahead of Tuesday’s elections.
“What is a good night for you in California?” Todd asked the candidate.
“Again, I’m not going to speculate what’s good and bad,” Biden told Todd. “We have had limited funds to begin with, number one. Number two, the first two caucuses and primary did hurt the campaign in terms of whether or not people thought that we were likely to win, and it did have some impact.” . . .
“Look, I haven’t had the kind of money that Bernie’s been working on for a long, long time here, and he’s done a great job of it,” Biden admitted. “I haven’t had that kind of staff. I have a significant number of endorsements and quality people from the mayor of Los Angeles to Barbara Boxer to people like Diane Feinstein and serious, serious people in the state. But that’s not enough. It’s hard to put people on the ground when you haven’t had the tens of millions of dollars other people have had.”
But money doesn’t seem to be helping Michael Bloomberg either, who trails Biden in both California and national polls. It didn’t help Tom Steyer, who had a lot more money than Biden, and also the decency to drop out following another loss in South Carolina on Saturday.
