COLUMBIA, S.C. -- “Bidenomics” is to thank for bringing hundreds of new clean energy manufacturing jobs to the South Carolina Midlands, President Joe Biden said Thursday, standing inside a West Columbia facility that will begin partnering in the production of solar energy products.
In his first official appearance in South Carolina since 2021, Biden touted his administration’s economic strategy that he says is investing in the middle class and building the economy “from the bottom up,” evidenced by thousands of new manufacturing jobs spreading across the Palmetto State, he said.
“It’s all part of the economic vision for this country. I came into office determined ... to change the economic direction of this country, to move (away from) trickle-down economics and get rid of them for everyone,” Biden said, speaking before a crowd of around 250 people at Flex LTD manufacturing facility in West Columbia. “Our plan is working ... all across America in communities that have been left out and hollowed out.”
