Leading up to the 2020 election, South Carolina Lede is keeping you up to speed on what the candidates are saying on the campaign trail in the Palmetto State with these "Trail Bites" mini-episodes.

Biden discussed what his South Carolina momentum might look like after early voting states in February, his thoughts on Sen. Cory Booker's debate dig where he said Biden might've been high when he recently discussed his stance on marijuana, whether vaping should be outlawed, what might happen if former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg jumps in the 2020 fray, how to appeal to disenfranchised Republican voters, and more.
