Biden gives high-stakes commencement address at Morehouse College

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

59% : The Democrat used parts of his 25-minute speech to lay out the stakes of his 2024 campaign, saying he was determined "to root out systemic racism" while also acknowledging more work ahead to combat economic inequality.
51% : At the Georgia GOP convention this weekend in Columbus, several political leaders spoke hopefully about Trump cracking double digits of Black support this year.
44% : While senior Democratic strategists don't worry about Trump forging a breakthrough among Black voters, they fret that many who voted for the Democrat in 2020 will stay home this November.
42% : The backlash at Morehouse, however, has taken place more in campus discussions than public demonstrations.
38% : Polls show Trump gaining more traction with Black voters - long the party's most loyal constituency - and tight races in Georgia battleground states in a rematch that many voters say they dread.
33% : And as petitions circulated objecting to Biden's speech, Morehouse's president David A. Thomas warned he would stop the graduation ceremony if there were public disruptions.
