candidate for presidency, i wanted to come to this community because my whole career is about going to the places that often team don t go to, don t talk about, don t face and confront. reporter: so how does booker s how do booker s chances look in south carolina? democrats believe he has a huge potential outside in the state but there s also stiff competition. senator kamala harris has been focusing aggressively on south carolina and democrats here say if joe biden gets in the race, he also has a very strong network in the first in the south primary state. rebecca buck in south carolina, thank you. let s talk more about the competition that is growing. another democratic candidate who made it official this weekend, massachusetts senator elizabeth warren. she s also working a key early voting state today. cnn s mj lee is joining us from iowa. mj, senator warren no longer the newest on the block as of a
