VP Kamala Harris visits the College of Charleston

CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD) – Vice President Kamala Harris will visit the College of Charleston on Wednesday as part of her “Fight for Our Freedoms College Tour.”

The event will take place at the Sottile Theatre at 1:00 p.m.

College of Charleston students will have the opportunity to ask questions of the vice president.

“The College of Charleston is honored to host Vice President Harris on campus,” said Andrew Hsu, president of the College of Charleston. “Vice President Harris’ visit to our university is a wonderful opportunity for our students to hear and see a world leader up close and provides them a chance to share their thoughts on policies important to them. We thank the White House for selecting the College of Charleston as part of its engagement initiative.”

VP Harris embarked on a month-long college tour throughout the country last month, with a goal to mobilize students and young people in the “fight for their rights,” according to the White House.

After making initial stops at several colleges and universities last month, Harris and her team announced a series of additional tour locations which included the College of Charleston on Wednesday, October 11.

Harris will tour the school and meet with faculty and students.

The tour has focused on discussions around reproductive freedom, common sense gun safety laws, climate action, voting rights LGBTQ+ equality, and book bans.

“The big problem with Kamala Harris is that she’s not taken seriously by the American people because she’s not a serious person. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be coming here to talk about climate change and gun control while Americans are suffering with inflation and higher interest rates and are desperate to get our borders secured – especially given the chance that terrorists could use our open borders to commit atrocities here in America like they have done in Israel,” said South Carolina Republican Party Chairman Drew McKissick ahead of VP Harris’s visit.
