President Joe Biden recently delivered a speech at Morehouse College in Atlanta, hoping to gain support from Black voters. However, some attendees had a frosty reception towards him, with reports of graduates turning their chairs away as Biden spoke. Some even displayed a Palestinian flag in protest.
Biden tried to address the situation by expressing support for peaceful protests and calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. However, his racially focused remarks during the speech drew criticism for pandering. Critics felt that Biden portrayed minorities as victims and whites as oppressors, ignoring the opportunities provided by American principles.

Reactions to Biden’s speech indicated a lack of enthusiasm among some traditional Democratic supporters, as footage showed a small group of supporters present for the presidential motorcade. This may signal waning popularity for Biden, even in strongholds like Atlanta.
Overall, it seems that Biden’s attempts to rally support may not be resonating with all voters. The focus on race and perceived victimhood did not sit well with some, leading to criticism of his speech at Morehouse College.
