Politically Georgia

Will Morehouse College become a hotbed for protest over Biden’s visit?


Listen Later

Veteran political consultant Rick Dent weighs in on President Joe Biden’s upcoming graduation speech at Morehouse College. Biden’s visit is aimed at bolstering Black voters, but could it be overshadowed by protesters opposed to his support for Israel? The hosts look at potential disruptions that could cause trouble on campus. 

  

But first, AJC columnist Maureen Downey joins us after Gov. Brian Kemp signed the most far-reaching school voucher bill in state history. Downey discusses the impact the measure will have on families, students and public schools across the state. 

  

Plus, Tia Mitchell explains how members of Georgia’s congressional delegation voted on aid for Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan.
