Joe Biden heading to Charleston Wednesday to campaign for James Smith

COLUMBIA, SC -- Former Vice President Joe Biden will return to South Carolina on Wednesday to campaign for James Smith, Democratic nominee for governor, a source close to the Smith campaign confirmed on Saturday.

Biden will participate in a fundraiser in Charleston Wednesday afternoon, the source said.

It was not immediately clear where the fundraiser will be and who is hosting it. Guests will include former Charleston Mayor Joe Riley, state Sen. Marlon Kimpson, D-Charleston, and Rosalyn Glenn, Democratic candidate for S.C. treasurer.

Biden’s support could prove helpful to Smith and his running mate, state Rep. Mandy Powers Norrell of Lancaster, in November, when he faces Republican Gov. Henry McMaster.
