In South Carolina, Sanders could get a boost from billionaire Steyer

“I think that he’s creating space for others and narrowing the lane,” Sen. Malloy: “Steyer has the willingness to reach out to minority voters in ways that others haven’t, not just that he’s taking votes away from the vice president — he’s taking votes from everybody and he’s bringing new voters to the polls,” he said.

“I’ve said from the beginning, if you want to be a Democratic candidate for president, you’ve got to appeal to the diverse Democratic Party coalition,” Steyer said after a campaign block party earlier this month in Winnsboro. “SC has a big African American population, it’s a critical state, and so it’s really important to anybody who wants to represent this party.” Malloy and Charles Steele, president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, isay Steyer issue-based with his mentions of his support for reparations and for funding for black colleges.
