Tonight, President Biden back in South Carolina. I heard about this pretty time. His first stop, a Black-owned barbershop in downtown Columbia in re-election mode with his focus on young and Black voters whose support has been slipping. With the Palestinian-Israel war going on. I think my view personally has shifted on Biden.

Gen Z, we want to see things getting done and not just hearing about pro-america, pro-freedom, and pro-democracy.

How's your ballot? Sixteen term congressman Jim Clibern leading the charge for Biden here, just as he did four years ago.

There's no better way for good people to break their silence than to march to the ballot boxes.

An NBC news survey in November showed 61% of Black voters would choose Biden over a Republican. In 2020, NBC news exit polls showed Biden won 87% of the Black vote. What does he need to do to make people feel like he's done a good job?

I think he's done a good job, and that's what we've got to do, is get people to see that.

Clibern, again, making the case for Biden in a state where Clibern is revered, a leading voice in Black communities for decades. He calls himself President Biden's validator.

That's what we've got to do between now and November. Tell people what it is that we have done. Tell them what the rescue plan is all about. Tell them what the infrastructure bill is all about.

The campaign also taking that message to young voters with college visits, social media posts, and radio spots. University of South Carolina, Jr. Kyle Brantley supports Biden but says students want a more visible seat at the table.

When the campaign understands that and realizes that now, and especially moving forward, they'll be able to connect more with the youth voting block.

The foundation is already there, and now we just have to get them reelected so that they can continue the work.

Erin, making South Carolina the first official Democratic primary official Democratic primary was also a nod to Black voters. It was, Jose. A campaign official told me that moving South Carolina and Nevada earlier on the calendar elevates the diverse groups that President Biden will need to win in November. Jose.
