Clyburn Says Misinformation Efforts Are His Biggest Concern About the 2024 Election

COSTA: “Congressman, you are a longtime confidant of President Biden. When you look at his reelection campaign right now, you’re optimistic, I know, but what’s your biggest concern? What keeps you up at night politically?”
Clyburn: “Well, the thing that keeps me wide awake are the misinformation efforts that are underway throughout this campaign. I’ve heard so much from people share to me things that just aren’t true; so much from people who seem to feel that everything they see or hear via the internet has some substance to them. And so, that’s the thing that keeps me up: whether or not we’re going to have a campaign for the presidency free of all of these interruptions and all of the misinformation.”
COSTA: “What specifically are you speaking about?”
Clyburn: “Well, we remember what happened up in New Hampshire, when people using AI replicated the voice of Joe Biden, and put things out over the air that were not true. We’ve already seen some of that taking place here in South Carolina regarding the Republican primary, inviting Democrats into the primary, saying things over the air that just are not true.”
