The campaigns for Democratic presidential candidates Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are making plans to counter Vice President Mike Pence's appearance at a GOP fundraiser in Anderson next week.

Biden's campaign will host an event for Democrats in Belton, and Harris' campaign plans to make phone calls for the Anderson County Democratic Party as Pence attends a fundraiser for U.S. Rep. Jeff Duncan next Monday in Anderson.

Neither candidate will be in Anderson County when Pence arrives, but Biden is scheduled to make a swing through the Upstate next week. Specific details have not been released about his two-day visit, which will wrap up precisely six months before South Carolina holds the South's first Democratic presidential primary on Feb. 29, 2020.

Biden's camp is urging the campaigns for the other Democratic presidential candidates to come to its anti-Trump event, which will be held from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Aug. 26 at Welfare Baptist Church on Bolt Drive.

Mike Kay, chairman of the Anderson County Democratic Party, said the efforts of the Biden and Harris campaigns will be helpful. Kay said he wants to focus mainly on making sure a large crowd attends the event at Welfare Baptist Church.
