Vice President Kamala Harris visits Benedict College, gives exclusive one-on-one interview

On Monday Vice President Kamala Harris visited Benedict College, where she spoke about major internet infrastructure investments as part of the administration's 'Internet for All' agenda, a $175 million plan to improve high-speed internet services at Historically Black Colleges and Universities.

WIS’ Billie Jean Shaw spoke one-on-one with Harris in an exclusive interview. Shaw asked about the 2024 presidential election, the Biden administration’s support for Ukraine, and South Carolina becoming the first state to vote in the Democratic presidential primaries.

Harris’ visit is her first since the Democratic party moved South Carolina to the first state to vote in the presidential primaries. The party said the change is meant to empower Black and minority voters and gain momentum in the south with voters on both sides of the political spectrum.

The Palmetto State hasn’t backed a Democratic presidential candidate since 1976.

Harris said, “Folks who have everything at stake, because of the condition and the needs of their family understand that they want to elect and in this case re-elect leaders who will actually get things done.”
