Former President Joe Biden spent his final full day in office in South Carolina, a state that was crucial to his successful run for the presidency. He attended a church service in North Charleston and spoke about the legacy of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Biden also commented on the recent Middle East ceasefire that he helped broker, offering advice to the incoming administration on how to maintain the deal. He emphasized the importance of persistence, support for regional allies, and diplomacy backed by deterrence. Biden was introduced by Rep. Jim Clyburn, a key ally who praised Biden’s leadership.
Following the church service, the Bidens toured the International African American Museum, highlighting the history of enslaved Africans brought to the U.S. Biden’s victory in the 2020 Democratic primary in South Carolina, driven by support from Black voters, was a turning point in his campaign after initial setbacks in other states. Biden expressed gratitude to the people of South Carolina for their support and credited them with setting him on the path to the presidency.
Although Biden’s 2024 campaign ended prematurely after a debate against Trump, he remained grateful to Clyburn and the people of South Carolina for their support. Biden’s visit to the African American history museum was seen as a gesture of appreciation and a way to say thank you to those who had helped him throughout his political career.
