CHARLESTON, S.C.—President Joe Biden is set to visit Charleston, South Carolina, on Monday to deliver a speech at the historic Mother Emanuel AME Church as part of his 2024 campaign push. He’s expected to call out “political violence” and emphasize what is at stake in the upcoming election.
The president’s visit to South Carolina is also seen as an effort to boost his standing with Black voters, especially given recent declines in his approval ratings among this group.
Established in 1816, Mother Emanuel is one of the South’s oldest black congregations, bearing immense cultural significance. On June 17, 2015, the church witnessed a tragic event in which nine black parishioners were shot and killed by a white man.
President Biden’s decision to speak at this symbolic location is viewed as a deliberate choice, aimed at targeting “white supremacy.”
