President Biden delivered the commencement speech at Morehouse College this morning, addressing the graduates at the historically black and all-male school in Atlanta. Despite some backlash from faculty and students over his support of Israel and other issues, President Biden took the stage to deliver his remarks.
His appearance at Morehouse College is seen as an effort to reconnect with black voters, as recent polls suggest a decline in support from this demographic. Biden's visit to Atlanta, a key city for engaging with black voters, comes as he aims to secure their support for the upcoming 2024 election.
Former President Donald Trump, who has seen a rise in support among black voters according to recent polls, continues to campaign in swing states like Minnesota. Trump narrowly lost to Biden in Georgia in 2020, a state he had won in 2016 when it was represented by Republican senators.
Both Georgia's Democratic senators greeted President Biden upon his arrival in Atlanta, highlighting the importance of the state in future elections. The political landscape in states like Minnesota is shifting, with center-right and center-left voters expressing changing perspectives.
President Biden and former President Trump have agreed to a series of debates, with the first one scheduled for June 27th. The upcoming debates will provide a platform for both candidates to address key issues and engage with voters ahead of the election.
