Biography of John Edwards
An underdog
Former senator John Edwards, lagging behind both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama in national polls and fundraising, is looking to South Carolina to capitalize on his Southern roots to connect with voters in his bid for the Democratic presidential nomination.
If Edwards can gain support in the typically red-state South, it would go a long way toward proving that he is the Democratic candidate with the best chance of defeating a Republican in the general election.
Edwards was born in Seneca, South Carolina, to working-class parents. His father worked in a textile mill and his mother was a postal worker. John worked with his father at the mill and was the first in his family to attend college. He received his undergraduate degree from North Carolina State University, and graduated from the University of North Carolina with his J.D. in 1977.
