WINNSBORO, S.C. - With the Democratic presidential field focused on New Hampshire’s first-in-the-nation primary Tuesday, billionaire Tom Steyer has South Carolina all to himself. On Sunday night, dozens of people showed up in downtown Winnsboro, a central South Carolina city of about 3,000, to see Steyer, eat free barbecue and listen to music. U.S. Rep. Cedric Richmond of Louisiana, co-chairman of Biden’s campaign, planned to hold a South Carolina “launch” party in Columbia on Tuesday night. “Steyer has spent more time on the ground in South Carolina than any other candidate,” said Henri Thompson, a South Carolina consultant who worked on Steyer’s campaign for two months last year. “More than spending money, Steyer has spent quality time getting to know South Carolina, especially African American voters here.”The money has gotten attention.
