“We’re honored to welcome President Joe Biden to Columbia on Friday, February 27, for a reception commemorating his pivotal 2020 South Carolina primary victory and thank him for a lifetime of public service,” the Facebook post announcing the event said.

Tickets for the Feb. 27 reception are available for purchase on ActBlue, the Democratic Party’s political action committee and fundraising platform. The event location is available upon purchase of a ticket.

Each ticket costs $125, with the option to donate additional funds.

This will be Biden’s first visit to the state since spending the final full day of his presidency in Charleston, where he visited a historic black church in North Charleston and the International African American Museum.

The former president’s visit comes ahead of the midterm elections, in which South Carolina voters will cast ballots for the Senate, House, and governor.

In 2020, Biden won 48.4% of the vote in the South Carolina Democratic primary, with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) earning 19.9%.

An exit poll for the South Carolina primary found that 60% of black voters chose Biden, according to the Washington Post.

At the time, Biden said the win meant that his campaign was “very much alive.”

“Just days ago, the press and the pundits had declared his candidacy dead. Now, thanks to all of you — the heart of the Democratic Party — we just won, and we’ve won big because of you,” Biden said at an event in Columbia, South Carolina.

During his remarks following his win, Biden credited Clyburn for helping his campaign, referencing the congressman’s last-minute endorsement.

“My buddy Jim Clyburn, you brought me back,” he said at the time.

In South Carolina, 25.7% of the population identifies as black, and 2.3% identify as two or more races, according to the Census Bureau.

The reception honoring Biden comes during Black History Month and in the wake of President Donald Trump‘s now-deleted, racist post of former first lady Michelle Obama and former President Barack Obama, whom Biden served as vice president under.

Trump faced a wave of criticism from both Democrats and Republicans for the post.

Since leaving office in 2024, Biden has made minimal public appearances amid questions about his health and fitness during his administration, including scrutiny over his use of an autopen.

Biden, 82, disclosed his first cancer diagnosis in May, sharing that the disease had spread to his bones. He has since been undergoing radiation therapy and hormone treatment.

There have been no new updates regarding his condition.
