THE PRESIDENT: Hello, South Carolina! (Applause.)
Thank you, Nikki, for that intro- — if you wonder what I’m kicking here, I’m kicking this stand-in. (Laughter.) But it’s not working. How about that? All right, maybe I stand on it and give my — I’ll be 6’4”. (Laughter.)
Folks, thank you though for being here. And I want to particularly thank my good friend Jim Clyburn. The truth of the matter is — all of you know it in South Carolina — I wouldn’t be standing here were it not for Jim Clyburn. (Laughs.) (Applause.)
Jim has been one of the most consequential leaders in South Carolina history, in my view. He’s tough, he’s loyal, he’s principled. And — and he let me — I want to tell you something: If he has your back, you — he always has your back.
And, Jim, it’s good to be back in your home with you and your daughter.
And — look, former mem- — former Mayor Steve Benjamin couldn’t be here today — and you all remember Steve as your mayor — because he’s traveling with his family. And it’s great to have him here — have — have him as part of our team. But his mom and dad are here.
By the way, if you have seats, sit down. (Laughter.) I’m sorry.
I once said, “Everybody take a seat,” and there were no seats. They said, “Biden is so stupid, he didn’t know there were no seats.” (Laughter.) Anyway.
I also want to thank the leadership of Enphase and Flex for hosting us.
