Hillary Clinton claps along to the current song playing on the playlist her team put together as the crowd cheers. The playlist included power hit songs from Kelly Clarkson, Katy Perry, and Taylor Swift. Hillary's campaign hosted a watch party at the USC Volleyball Center on the night of the South Carolina Democratic Primaries, February 27, 2016. Within minutes of the polls closing, it was announced that Hillary had taken South Carolina. Steve Benjamin, mayor of Columbia, was present at the watch party and talked with fellow Hillary supporters as they waited for Hillary to make her victory speech. Senator Jim Clyburn stepped up to speak first after the announced win and then welcomed Hillary to the stage where she gave a motivational speech to her supporters and said, "tomorrow this campaign is going national!"
