With nearly all ballots counted from Saturday's vote, he won all 55 pledged delegates, according to projections by the BBC's US partner CBS.

It was the first official Democratic primary ahead of this year's presidential election.

Mr Biden - who faces little competition within his party - pledged to make Republican Donald Trump a "loser".

The president recalled how South Carolina voters "breathed life" into his 2020 campaign and said he had "no doubt" they would set him on the path to winning the presidency in 2024.
