CHARLESTON, S.C.—President Joe Biden is set to visit Charleston, South Carolina, on Monday to deliver a speech at the historic Mother Emanuel AME Church as part of his 2024 campaign push. He’s expected to call out “political violence” and emphasize what is at stake in the upcoming election.

The president’s visit to South Carolina is also seen as an effort to boost his standing with Black voters, especially given recent declines in his approval ratings among this group.
