COLUMBIA, S.C. – Democratic presidential contender Hillary Rodham Clinton is making her first visit to South Carolina since announcing her candidacy earlier this year.

Clinton is scheduled to deliver a keynote address on Wednesday to the South Carolina House Democratic Women’s Caucus and the South Carolina Democratic Women’s Council at their Third Annual Day in Blue.

The campaign says Clinton is also holding discussions with minority women small business owners and making brief remarks to the state House and Senate Democratic caucuses.

South Carolina hosts the South’s first 2016 primary and is important for Democrats because it’s the contest with a large number of black voters.
