Here's the facts:
NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders has widened his lead for the Democratic presidential nomination and overtaken Joe Biden in support among African Americans - a voting bloc that until now has largely favored the former vice president, according to a Reuters/Ipsos national poll released on Tuesday.
Yes, but he eventually lost bigtime: https://www.motherjones.com/2020-elections/2020/03/bernie-sanders-lost-black-vote-south-carolina/, due in no small part to the Clyburn/Obama hit he suffered, as you said. And note I said "among voters who rejected him"; Blacks weren't the only ones. Most notably, as some pundits point out, the democratic establishment representing corporate interests rejected him and invested heavily in selling Biden to the public.
Well, the fact that 20 million fewer American voters voted in 2024 and now seemingly think American viability as a democratic nation is in question , suggest the destruction of Sanders 2020 and 2016 impacted far more than Bernie .

The result could spell trouble for Biden, the one-time frontrunner who has lagged behind the field after the first few Democratic nominating contests. To remain a viable contender, Biden has been banking on a strong showing in Saturday's South Carolina primary, a state where black voters make up more than half of the Democratic electorate. https://www.reuters.com/article/world/sanders-surpasses-biden-among-african-american-voters-reutersipsos-poll-idUSKBN20J2J8/
