Biden Goes on Offense in South Carolina, Attacking Trump and Immigration Policy

In a roughly 20-minute speech in Columbia, Biden went on the offensive against Trump, accusing him of fixating on Obama and trying to undermine elections, while contrasting his own record (lower insulin costs, job growth) with Trump’s. He criticized Trump’s immigration stance and his handling of a Minnesota violence incident tied to immigration enforcement, and noted a NBC News poll showing disapproval of Trump’s border policy. Biden also leaned on South Carolina’s history in nominating presidents as he framed the 2028 race as a continuation of Democratic governance.
