The 2020 South Carolina Democratic presidential primary is being held, as it turns out, on Leap Day—February 29, 2020.
A Saturday.
Last time that happened was in 1992.
Next time will be in 2048.
The exact calendar in a given leap year does not repeat for another 28 years. Think: Seven days of the week times every four years. So, as an example, if you like your birthday on a given day of the week, in a leap year, it will not get repeated on that particular day for another 28 years.
This is a pattern I have observed.
What else is going to be observed are the results of the 2020 South Carolina Democratic presidential primary.
Will this be the first ever primaries contest won by Joe Biden? (As the party establishment’s preferred candidate, Biden is dealing with a 2016 Hillary Clinton margin of +47.42 percentage points.)
Can Bernie Sanders pull off an upset?
Stay tuned.
