“President Joe Biden gave a high-stakes commencement speech to hundreds of young Black men at Morehouse College on Sunday, delivering a direct address to the constituency his campaign worries is shifting against him as he runs for reelection against former President Donald Trump,” the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports.
“The Democrat focused parts of his speech laying out the stakes of the 2024 campaign to the graduates of the all-male historically Black college, saying he was determined to ‘root out systemic racism’ while fighting the ‘extremist forces aligned against the meaning and message’ of the school.”
Playbook: “The conventional wisdom was that student protests would repeatedly threaten to interrupt his speech. This morning, that wasn’t the case at all.”
