Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., arrives to speak in Concord, N.H. South Carolina gave Sanders the cold shoulder in 2016. But some of Sanders’ top South Carolina staffers from 2016 aren’t rejoining his team, including Christale Spain, Sanders’ 2016 political outreach director for South Carolina who is now working for Sen. Cory Booker’s presidential campaign. “I lost badly here in South Carolina,” Sanders said during a meeting earlier this year with the Legislative Black Caucus. “The day is going to come, sooner than people believe, that South Carolina is going to become a progressive state,” Sanders said.
