Bernie Sanders may have won New Hampshire, but a victory in South Carolina isn't going to come quite as easily if things don't change.

Unlike New Hampshire, Bernie Sanders faces an uphill fight against Hillary Clinton in South Carolina.

He’ll have to overcome the nearly 30-point lead Clinton has there in polls.

Support from black voters is key in the state. And he’s lagging in endorsements from prominent black leaders. 

Though he does have Killer Mike behind him.

And he’s reportedly planning to meet Rev. Al Sharpton before the South Carolina primary. (Video via MSNBC)
