COLUMBIA, S.C. — In a visit to South Carolina, Vice President Kamala Harris praised achievements made by the White House in helping to make broadband internet access more affordable nationally.
Speaking before a crowd at Columbia’s Benedict College on Monday, Harris touted that millions of Americans are now saving millions on their broadband internet service thanks to efforts by the Biden-Harris administration and the legislative support of U.S. Rep. James Clyburn, a South Carolina Democrat, in helping to create the Affordable Connectivity Program, an initiative that helps households lower their internet bills.
“The internet is an essential part of everyday modern life, and yet more than 24 million American households still do not have internet access, including 137,000 families right here in South Carolina,” Harris said.
