Presidential contenders fight for minority voters
2016 Democratic presidential hopefuls fighting for black voters looked for an edge in South Carolina as Republicans crisscrossed the state in search of a path out of Donald Trump's long shadow.
Democrat Hillary Clinton stepped up her hammering of rival Bernie Sanders on Friday for what she said are his false claims on President Barack Obama's legacy. Prominent black leaders echoed the theme -- an effort to use the first African-American president as a wedge between Sanders and black voters.
"He has called the president weak, a disappointment," Clinton said of Sanders at a forum on Friday. "He does not support, the way I do, building on the progress the president has made."
