Candidates went out of&nbsp;their way to hold&nbsp;meet-and-greets across the state&nbsp;to answer questions&nbsp;potential voters had, as well as getting to know South Carolina residents. Although&nbsp;politics can be&nbsp;a divisive&nbsp;subject, there was one central message that stood true throughout the campaign:&nbsp;the&nbsp;need for big, structural&nbsp;change. More than&nbsp;539,000 voters cast ballots in the primary<em>, <\/em>giving Joe Biden, former vice president, a landslide victory. Candidates Tom Steyer, Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar withdrew from the race soon after. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-advancedgallery alignwide kb-gallery-wrap-id-_db0dda-4d\"><ul class=\"kb-gallery-ul kb-gallery-type-masonry kb-masonry-init kb-gallery-id-_db0dda-4d kb-gallery-caption-style-bottom-hover kb-gallery-filter-none\" data-item-selector=\".kadence-blocks-gallery-item\" data-image-filter=\"none\" data-lightbox-caption=\"true\" data-columns-xxl=\"3\" data-columns-xl=\"3\" data-columns-lg=\"3\" data-columns-md=\"2\" data-columns-sm=\"1\" data-columns-xs=\"1\"><li class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item\"><div class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item-inner\"><figure class=\"kb-gallery-figure kb-gallery-item-has-link kadence-blocks-gallery-item-hide-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/eyewitness.cic.sc.edu\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Freedom.jpeg\" class=\"kb-gallery-item-link\"><div class=\"kb-gal-image-radius\" style=\"max-width:580px\"><div class=\"kb-gallery-image-contain kadence-blocks-gallery-intrinsic\" style=\"padding-bottom:150%\"><img data-attachment-id=\"1232\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/eyewitness.cic.sc.edu\/test\/student-portfolios\/rachel-smith\/freedom\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eyewitness.cic.sc.edu\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Freedom.jpeg?fit=1365%2C2048&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1365,2048\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Freedom\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eyewitness.cic.sc.edu\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Freedom.jpeg?fit=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eyewitness.cic.sc.edu\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Freedom.jpeg?fit=580%2C870&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eyewitness.cic.sc.edu\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Freedom.jpeg?resize=580%2C870&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"580\" height=\"870\" alt=\"\" data-full-image=\"https:\/\/eyewitness.cic.sc.edu\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Freedom.jpeg\" data-light-image=\"https:\/\/eyewitness.cic.sc.edu\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Freedom.jpeg\" data-id=\"1232\" data-link=\"https:\/\/eyewitness.cic.sc.edu\/test\/student-portfolios\/rachel-smith\/freedom\/\" class=\"wp-image-1232undefined\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eyewitness.cic.sc.edu\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Freedom.jpeg?resize=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 683w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eyewitness.cic.sc.edu\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Freedom.jpeg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eyewitness.cic.sc.edu\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Freedom.jpeg?resize=768%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eyewitness.cic.sc.edu\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Freedom.jpeg?resize=1024%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eyewitness.cic.sc.edu\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Freedom.jpeg?resize=1200%2C1800&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eyewitness.cic.sc.edu\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Freedom.jpeg?w=1365&amp;ssl=1 1365w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/div><figcaption class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item__caption\">S.C.
