President Joe Biden’s racially toxic commencement speech at Morehouse College has managed to prove that his pandering pursuit of young voters isn’t even worth it in the first place.
According to Politico, Biden’s speech was panned by the students in attendance. “The response from the audience was muted,” Politico declared, quoting students who said, “It was very much a campaign speech. … I didn’t feel connected to it,” and, “We’re here for Morehouse, but we don’t really support what you’re doing.”
These are the voters to whom Biden is pandering to save his fast-fading campaign. He is pandering to them with his student debt decisions and with his focus on climate change, two issues young voters actually don’t care about compared to basic things such as the economy or the border. He is pandering to them with doublespeak on Israel, shaming the country for not negotiating a “ceasefire” with genocidal terrorists, even as students say things such as giving Biden an award is “in poor taste” because “a Morehouse man is one that cares about peace internationally.”

Biden’s political instincts are terrible, and they always have been. The fact that he is chasing young voters who despise him and doing so with issues they don’t care about explains why his approval rating remains at a record low. For a normal politician, a sympathetic media outlet highlighting students dunking on Biden’s remarks would be a wake-up call that his decision to pander to those voters at the expense of others has been a terrible one. But, again, Biden’s instincts are terrible.
If these are the voters that Biden is banking his reelection campaign on, you can start writing his campaign’s postmortem now. Biden has been deluded by activists and advisors into chasing a fringe voter base made up of people that were never going to support Biden in the first place. Biden has ignored or alienated swing voters for this base that he has courted, and he is likely going to continue to so up until he loses in November.
