Biden Addresses Racial Progress and White Supremacy in Howard University Commencement Speech.
In his commencement address at Howard University, President Biden warned of "sinister forces" trying to reverse racial progress in America and declared white supremacy as "the most dangerous terrorist threat to our homeland." While he did not name former President Trump, he alluded to his past statements and linked him to racist elements in American society. Biden sought to enlist the young graduates in what he presented as the cause of this moment and urged them to determine America's future. Political analysts and party strategists have expressed concern about an enthusiasm gap among Black voters that could complicate prospects for the president, who needs high turnout from his base.
