South Carolina Holds First Presidential Democratic Primary In The Nation

MOUNT PLEASANT, SOUTH CAROLINA - FEBRUARY 03: Aundrea Loftley and her son Andrew cast their ballot in the Democratic Primary at the Eastbridge Presbyterian Church on February 03, 2024 in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. "It's important for my son to know that democracy matters. Regardless of who he decides to vote for when he grows up, he needs to understand that it is an obligation that we have because we stand on the shoulders of so many people who gave their lives so that we can have this right. It wasn't an option... It's the first thing we had to get done this morning," said Loftley. People across the state are getting out to cast their vote in the Democratic Primary election.
