Berkeley County Democratic Party Statement on VP JD Vance’s Visit to South Carolina from Chair Ralph Prioleau

As Vice President JD Vance visits South Carolina today, the Berkeley County Democratic Party is calling out the harm caused by the Trump administration’s first 100 days. From calling the BMW plant in Spartanburg a “scam” to pushing reckless tariffs that threaten South Carolina’s farmers and small businesses, this administration has shown blatant disregard for our economy. South Carolina is one of the most trade-dependent states in the nation, and these policies hurt real people. Instead of focusing on solutions, the Trump administration has doubled down on divisive rhetoric and dangerous decisions. We hope Vice President Vance heard directly from the South Carolinians that his policies are hurting.
