Palmetto Power Hour
Zoom Call
Join friends from across South Carolina on the first Monday evening of each month for a virtual Zoom Q&A with the next generation of national leaders of the Democratic Party — including Democratic Senators, Governors, Congressmembers, former Cabinet Secretaries, and other leading voices.
The 2028 presidential election will be the most consequential for Democrats in almost 40 years.
The 2028 primary will define the future of the Democratic Party and set its trajectory for the next generation. The Palmetto Power Hour will be a fun, easy way to get to know the potential 2028 candidates.
On the evening of the first Monday of every month, voters across South Carolina will convene on Zoom for one hour, and each month we’ll have a different “special guest.”
