Harris was joined in the state capital by South Carolina Rep. Jim Clyburn, one of the leading Black voices in Congress.
Since announcing his reelection bid in April, Biden has made far more frequent official visits to Pennsylvania — a key battleground in the general election — than states that will decide Democrats' 2024 primary.
“It was South Carolina that created the path to the White House for Joe Biden and me,” Harris said.
Harris spoke in a crowded room at state party headquarters, flanked by cheering supporters holding Biden-Harris and South Carolina Democratic Party signs.
Minnesota Rep. Dean Phillips, the only elected Democrat to challenge Biden in 2024, has already filed to appear on both the New Hampshire and South Carolina ballots.
