"Biden's Visit to SC Church Highlights Election Stakes and Perils of Hate"

President Joe Biden visited the Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina, to highlight the stakes of the 2024 presidential election and the perils of hate, revisiting the 2015 racist massacre where nine Black churchgoers were killed. Biden's visit comes after his blunt speech condemning former President Donald Trump's rhetoric and actions, aiming to contrast his own message with Trump's. Biden and his aides argue that Trump's refusal to condemn white nationalists and his false claims about the 2020 election pose a threat to American democracy. Biden's visit is seen as a necessary effort to address the nation's political divide and the ongoing conversation about race and democracy.
