Vice President Joe Biden is scheduled to speak on Friday at the South Carolina Democratic Party's "Jefferson-Jackson Dinner" in Columbia, S.C. The group announced Biden's appearance back in March.
After the dinner, according to the White House's schedule, Biden will attend a fish fry hosted by Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC). According to The State newspaper, Biden was at the congressman's fish fry back in 2007.

This year, Clyburn, now in his 11th term in the U.S. House of Representatives, is honoring his supporters who helped him complete 20 years in Congress, according to a release from his office.
The crowd will be bigger and I will have the special honor of sharing the stage with my good friend Joe Biden, but the event is being held with the same sense of gratitude as that first fish fry held in the parking lot of my campaign headquarters so many years ago, Clyburn said.
