Cory Booker is coming back to South Carolina for a Rock Hill event this Saturday.

The New Jersey senator will be speaking at the Freedom Temple on East Main Street in Rock Hill at 11:30 a.m. Saturday, according to a post by the York County Democratic Party on their Facebook page.

Supporters can RSVP to the event online.

Prior to the event, Booker is also expected to visit the Platinum Cuts barbershop on Saluda Street in Rock Hill at 10:30 a.m.

Booker will also participate in a CNN town hall from South Carolina on Wednesday, March 27, the campaign announced on Tuesday. The town hall will be broadcast from Stevenson Auditorium in Orangeburg at 10 p.m., with an audience will be drawn from Claflin and South Carolina State universities.

Booker has focused on smaller communities in South Carolina so far in his campaign. His first official visits in South Carolina last month were in Winnsboro, Denmark and Sumter.

Booker isn’t the only candidate who will appear in Rock Hill on Saturday. South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg will be campaigning at Rock Hill’s Clinton College later on Saturday. Texas Democrat Beto O’Rourke will also be campaigning in Charleston that day.
