Democratic presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke will visit USC's campus this Friday, and the rally will be sponsored by College Democrats at USC.

Jane Marryat, president of College Democrats at USC, hopes that O'Rourke will address issues that are important to the college population. 

"Because it will be a college campus thing, I would really like him to talk about the student debt problem and about lowering college tuition or capping tuition, something of that sort, and also just increasing access to higher education, which is a big problem in South Carolina," Marryat said.

O'Rourke will speak on the Russell House patio 12:30 to 1:30 p.m., with Davis Field being used for any overflow.
