Senate Democrats have chosen a significant venue for their annual issues conference: Howard University, with headline remarks — that are closed to the press — from President Joe Biden expected Wednesday evening.
The Democrats will visit the landmark historically Black university in Washington at a time when HBCUs nationwide have faced a series of extremist bomb threats.
Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., a co-chair of the bipartisan HBCU caucus, praised the venue choice in a statement to CQ Roll Call.
