What the Event Is
President Joe Biden will stop in Columbia, South Carolina on February 27 to mark the sixth anniversary of the primary victory that helped propel him in 2020. The state Democratic Party is billing the night as both a celebration and a fundraising push to support candidate recruitment, infrastructure, and voter engagement. Party officials say the visit is about honoring the moment while also preparing for what comes next, and organizers confirmed the president will speak at the reception.

Ticket Rules and Costs
The tickets are set at $125 each with options to pay more if you wish to be especially generous. The event invite lists a few specific rules. Only U.S. citizens or green card holders can purchase tickets, federal contractors are barred from giving in this context, and you must be at least 18 years old. Organizers point to federal law that bars foreign nationals from donating in connection with elections, and the language on the party site mirrors that legal reality.
Who Might Attend
High ranking Democrats are expected to show up, and U.S. Rep. Jim Clyburn is already listed as planning to attend. That raises a question conservatives enjoy asking. Will all the usual names be there or will some decline? People on social media have had a field day with that idea. The event will also serve as a quiet test of enthusiasm among donors and activists for the party establishment in a state Republicans think they can challenge.
I am so excited for the Dems to line up to talk about how he’s sharper than ever and runs laps around them. https://t.co/WkvlZiCr9c

Why This Visit Matters
Beyond speeches and selfies the fundraiser has practical goals. The state party plans to use profits for building local infrastructure and recruiting candidates ahead of future races. For conservatives watching national politics the stop is also a signal. A modest ticket price and targeted guest rules suggest the focus is on core activists, not a broad public outreach. And for anyone tracking political narratives this is a moment to measure enthusiasm and organization on the other side, while noting whether big names step up in person and on the record.
