WEST COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — President Joe Biden visited South Carolina on Thursday to make the argument that even Republican-led states are gaining factory jobs under economic measures he pushed through Congress despite stiff GOP opposition. With an eye toward 2024, Biden made his case that government investments in computer chips, batteries and electric vehicles will help the U.S. out-compete China and that his agenda has delivered in ways that former President Donald Trump could not. The president says, “I didn’t get much help from the other team, but that didn’t stop us from getting it done.”
