GraceRandolph Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 WASHINGTON — Amid growing protests on college campuses by pro-Palestinian demonstrators, the White House is planning for President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris to have a minimal presence for a traditional rite of spring: delivering commencement addresses. Biden is scheduled to speak at Morehouse College and the U.S. Military Academy at West Point in May, while Harris is only slated to give a graduation speech at the Air Force Academy. First lady Jill Biden, who teaches at a community college, is expected to deliver a commencement address, though no school has been named. Two White House officials noted that the number of speeches for Biden and Harris is similar to the two previous years. By comparison, when then-President Barack Obama was seeking re-election in 2012, he delivered addresses at the Air Force Academy, Barnard College and Joplin High School. That same year, then-Vice President Biden spoke at West Point and high schools in the battleground states of Virginia and Florida. Another White House official declined to preview how Biden might address the campus unrest. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters this week that Biden always views these addresses "as a special time to deliver a message — an encouraging message, a message that's hopefully uplifting to the graduates and their families."

byzantium Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 The way Biden is so intent on losing this election so that he can keep the genocide going is sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sannie Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 That makes sense. Most of these people do not even know what they are protesting and just want to get attention for social media. No telling what they would be willing to do to the President for some IG likes. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
