After the man who was projected to lead the DNC in November had a slow start, he is back where everyone expected him to be. Joe Biden entered the Democratic race for the presidential nomination as a favorite, but a slow start in New Hampshire, Nevada, and Iowa almost doomed his campaign. Lo and behold, Biden captured South Carolina off the strength of Black voters, and rebounded during Super Tuesday to steal the lead back from Bernie Sanders. Biden was able to pick up momentum due to Pete Buttigieg, Amy Klobuchar, and Tom Steyer backing out the race and endorsing him. Now, another DNC candidate is putting their endorsement behind the former Vice President.
"There is no one better prepared than Joe to steer our nation through these turbulent times, and restore truth, honor, and decency to the Oval Office," Kamala Harris said in a statement on Sunday. "He is kind and endlessly caring, and he truly listens to the American people." Kamala is the latest, after Mike Bloomberg, to throw her support behind Biden just months after she attacked him on the debate stage for being insensitive to Black issues. With the DNC seemingly forming around Biden, does Bernie stand a chance of winning the nomination?
Juvenile Joined By Democratic Candidate For "Back That Azz Up" Performance
Juvenile showed up at the South Carolina political rally for Democratic nominee hopeful Tom Steyer and performed "Back That Azz Up."
We're just creeping out of February and already 2020 has been a wild year. In just over eight months, American citizens will be choosing the candidate that they want as their next President of the United States. Sitting president Donald Trump will be the incumbent while the Democratic Party has been filtering out potential candidates for months. Andrew Yang, Cory Booker, Beto O'Rourke, Kamala Harris and over one dozen others have bowed out of the competition, but Tom Steyer continues his campaign... and a strange campaign it's turning out to be.

On Friday (February 28), Steyer held a rally in South Carolina. All seemed well for the red, white, and blue event until things took a turn when Juvenile hit the stage for a performance of "Back That Azz Up." The Louisiana rapper's club hit went over well as the 62-year-old billionaire businessman began dancing with the rap star and his hype man. If Steyer's moves don't get you grooving, his wife's certainly will.
The audience was unsurprisingly perplexed and seemed to be a bit of stunned, but social media had quite a lot to say. Check out bits of the performance, along with a few reactions, below.
