Democratic congressman Rep. James Clyburn from South Carolina has raised concerns about the impact of college campus protests on President Joe Biden's potential second-term presidential run. He echoed sentiments expressed by Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, who suggested that Biden's position on Israel's conflict with Gaza could alienate young voters.
Clyburn and Sanders drew parallels between the current protests and those that took place during Lyndon B. Johnson's presidency in the late 1960s amid the Vietnam War. Clyburn emphasized the need to avoid stifling protests, citing the negative consequences that arose during the Vietnam era.
