that's something that he's done throughout his campaign, just a little while ago here in orangeburg, biden was referring to him simply as his buddy barack. that's a message you hear him trying to reinforce over and over. biden is here in south carolina, trying to court that critical black vote. they make up a majority of the democratic primary electorate in the state. although biden has been slipping a little bit in the polls, he still has significant strength among the african-american community. that's something that biden is going to be focusing on here in south carolina over this next 24 hours as he's here, ana. >> arlette saenz, we know you'll keep us posted, thank you. >>> i want to get reaction now from one of biden's 2020 rivals, bestselling author and activist marianne williamson, marianne, thanks for being here. what do you say to biden not wanting to talk about parts of his record? >> i don't want to talk about anybody's past. i want to talk about the future of our country, where we need to be as a people, where public policy needs to be. the politics of bringing down one

in south carolina, we have had four rural hospitals -- i grew up in a rural community in orangeburg, south carolina. our next-door neighbor bamberg, their hospital closed there have been four rural hospitals that have closed in south carolina. if you live in those communities, chris, it doesn't matter if you voted for trump or hillary clinton. it doesn't matter if you vote for lindsey graham or you vote for me. it doesn't matter if you're a democrat or a republican, but if you have a heart attack or a stroke or diabetes complications and you have to go to the hospital, instead of it taking you 15 minutes or ten minutes, it takes you 35 or the 45 minutes. that's a death sentence. >> yeah. >> and we have to look at this as right and wrong. it's wrong for rural hospitals to close and to have lindsey graham propose a bill like graham-cassidy that makes it even possible for more hospitals in rural communities to close. that's wrong, and that's why he's going to lose this election, and we're going to send him home. or send him to mar-a-lago or somewhere. >> jaime harrison is the democratic
