Commencement controversy in just hours, President Biden is set to give a speech at Morehouse College and a move that is dividing the campus. We are at Morehouse College with the latest plus a look at the president s plan to win back black voters and tributes for cnn political commentator and gop president ial campaign veteran Alice Stewart, who died suddenly yesterday. A look at our Life And Work ahead plus more controversy surrounding the rest of the worlds top golfer and kentucky. And you Investigation Underway after the officers bodyworn camera, apparently was not recording and new coronavirus virus are on the rise as we head into a busy Holiday Travel week, we talked to a doctor about the emerging new threat from the socalled flirt variance President Joe Biden will deliver a commencement address. The Morehouse College is class of 2024. This morning, the president arrived in atlanta yesterday, stopped at a local restaurant to speak was in voters hes struck. Lets call it a confident tone, calling trump a loser. And hes trying to allay and he fears about his own poll numbers here, about how were behind in the polls so far the polls had been right once now, what look, were all were either tie are slightly ahead, are slightly behind, but when i look at is actual Election ResultsElection Results are in a primaries. We put the primaries well, mr. Trump has he doesnt have an opponent, but he lost some hundred and 20,000 votes in pennsylvania, didnt vote for him i voted for a woman is no longer in the race hey is pulling back no punches his weekend in atlanta is all part of an effort to drum up support among black voters. A key demographic and is 2021, however, his appearance at morehouse is expected to draw some resistance. College students across the country. They are protesting his continued support of israels military campaign. Gaza and happen for weeks. Cnns Nick Valencia joins us live from the morehouse campus. Nick. Whats the mood on campus right now yeah hi, good morning, isabella in victor, the mood is one of excitement here and its already packed out. The commencement doesnt start for another three hours, but you could see this long line of cars that is queued up here since early this morning. This is probably one of the most anticipated Commencement Speeches ive ever reported on. I cant remember the last time we talked about a Graduation Ceremony this month here we are President Biden getting the invitation from Morehouse College back in september, formerly accepting the invitation in april, amid a an eruption of propalestinian protests across the country. Those protesters calling for a ceasefire in gaza, something that the president has not supported. So theres some anxiety a little bit of anxiety about what but potentially could happen during his speech over the weekend, we saw Student Activists take to social media to encourage graduates to turn their back on President Biden during his commencement speech, they say, as the president has turned his back on palestinians so far though, no signs of demonstrators, just really happy families and graduates smiling. This is a huge day for them here. And one that is already getting underway here, despite it being hours hours away. Isabel victor. All right. Nick, weve got to remember that the president is not the star today. Its those 470 more house men who are graduating. We of course, waiting for the speeds but this is a very big day for them. Well check back with you, Nick Valencia there on the Morehouse College amen amen. Thank you very much joining us now. Washington correspondent for the Atlanta Journal constitution t of mitchell tia, good morning to you. So ill reporting is that the white house has consulted with several morehouse alumni who are close to the president in the party. Eddie glaude, junior, chair of the princeton air African American studies department. J. Johnson, former Homeland Security secretary, birmingham may aranda would fin montgomery mayor steven reid among others, and Cedric Richmond helped out as well. What does the white house believed that they must accomplish today . Well, in also the Biden Administrations sent emissaries to morehouse to speak with students since in liters on campus currently, yeah. I think for the Biden Administration for president , biden, number one, i think he wants to have a speech that resonates, one that is seen as successful, one where hes seen as charismatic. One where hes seen as intune to what the needs of those graduates are as far as uplifting them and not just delivering a run of the Mill Campaign speech to your point. This is about the graduates and i i think one of the things that biden has heard, some of the pushback is about we want someone whos not coming in just to give us a Campaign Speech into grandstand. We want someone whos going to help us celebrate our commencement in addition to i do think they want him to address the conflict between israel and hamas in americas role in it. This will be an opportunity for biden to explain himself and try to earn points for people who may be skeptical of the us approach currently, ive spoken with over the last couple of days, several morehouse alumni who say they expect protests mean even some who were there on campus speaking with those students ahead of the president s visit. They dont expect that hell be shouted down or heckled during a speech. But if there is a lets say, a show of disapproval where some of them turned the chairs to turn that back is that bruise going to last more than a day or two if we think back, there have been protests, people shouting down the president. We dont remember a lot of the specifics there, but its this one different . If even its a Silent Protest today . So i think a Silent Protest is the best that President Biden can ask for it. Because what they dont want is the spectacle of people shouting him down, not allowing him to get through his remarks they dont want the spectacle of people being arrested. They dont want the spectacle of perhaps the ceremony being shut down early because of disruptions. So people walking out or turning their back, i think to them, its like the best they can ask for a happy medium so to speak. And i think that would allow biden to at least get his words out for those who are willing to listen. And there will be a lot of Media Coverage as we know of his remarks so as long as hes able to give them i think biden would be satisfied with that, but yes, there will be coverage. I think it also depends on how widespread the protests are. Its a difference between a few dozen people standing up and turning their back between a few hundred graduates standing up and turning their back as well. The political motivation for accepting the invitation for more houses clear. The president has worked to do among young voters. He has worked to do among black voters. And of course, georgia is a swing state, so you put all those together on the campus today. Lets take a look at the latest New York TimesSienna College poll. This is among black voters in Battleground States in a headtohead between the president and former president. If we dont have it up, i can tell you what the result is. Is this shows that former President Trump has 23 of support among black voters headtohead in Battleground States from your reporting, is that more of rejection of the president or an endorsement of the former president i think its more of a rejection of the current president. And concern about the humanitarian crisis in gaza. I think these are voters that are still get double for bidens, so to speak especially as we know that President Trump has not been popular among young voters and among voters of color, particularly black voters so i do think these voters are winnable for President Biden but the conflict in the middle east, the conflict between israel and hamas is a tough spot for him because at the end of the day, he can call for a ceasefire if he wants, but he cant make a ceasefire happen. Thats up to Prime Minister netanyahu and the leaders of hamas, so to speak. So its a tough position for him and its one that the other to add has taken advantage of. I do think the polls havent always been accurate in putting the finger on the pulse were black voters are recently. So weve got to take it with a grain of salt. You saw that recently, for example, with the Maryland Senate race in that democratic crime i married i dont know if at the end of the day President Trump can really get 25 . I want out of every four black. I dont know that any even republican strategist ive spoken with about that poll believes its going to end up that way, but its still is a remarkable number considering early voting starts in some states at the end of september. So were not so far away from voting, but now i dont know that many people believe hes gonna get a quarter of the black vote last one for you here. Lets talk about President Trump. He received the nra Endorsement In Dallas Last Night and he said something that is getting some attention. I want to ask you about it. Heres what he said. Fdr 16 years, almost 16 years. He was four term. I dont know. Are we going to be considered three term or two terms . You tell me, ronnie, what do you so hes talking, about three terms now in the past, he said hes not going to challenge constitutional term limits. Is he just playing with the audience here or after january 6 . Can anyone afford to just dismiss it as a joke . Yeah. That was gonna be my point. I dont think we can afford to dismiss what the former president says because its one thing to say, oh, hes just talking, its you know, these are just worse. These are just pandering to an audience but he could be the president. We were just talking about polls that shows President Biden not doing so well we know that based on the polling, based on what were hearing, there is a chance trump can return to the white house and therefore, everything he says about how he would conduct himself as president needs to be taken seriously. And i think he does need to clarify now, if he believes that the constitution would allow him to run for a third term thats fine for him to believe that, but i think the American People need to know that in need to understand that they can take that into consideration as they go to the pole or here may believe that, but the constitution doesnt, doesnt show that doesnt prove that to be true to mitchell lana journal constitution, joining us from washington pc this morning. Thanks so much turning now to the middle east where israeli war cabinet member benny gantz is setting out an ultimatum. Hes demanding that Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu and the cabinet lay out a plan for the war against hamas kant says of netanyahus war cabinet does not meet the demands by june 8. He will withdraw from a government. Netanyahu rejected the threats and gantz conditions would hurt israel. Meanwhile, Us National Security adviser Jake Sullivan is in israel today to meet with netanyahu and other senior israeli officials that discuss ongoing Hostage Negotiations and address. Of course, the humanitarian crisis in gaza this comes after sullivan is meeting with Saudi Crown PrinceMohammed Bin Salmon in saudi arabia cnns Camila To Chalice joins us now from washington. So tell us about the meetings today. Well, the primary focus of sullivan is meeting with officials and israel was to discuss the israel and hamas conflict. And we are told by white house officials that some of the subjects that they discussed was the humanitarian aid crisis in gaza. They also discuss the possible release of hostages and how those negotiations have stalled called and how they want to keep it ongoing. And were also hearing that sullivan is trying to make a more concerted argument when hes meeting with officials and israel to talk about rafah and to really convince and make a strong argument to the officials in israel that they need to have a more concise and targeted approach when it comes to their Military Operations in rafah and how they want to go after he after hamas because they say that if they go in with not a more concise and more precise approach then it could lead to more innocent civilian lives being lost. Now, victor, as you mentioned, sullivan is also just earlier today, met with officials and saudi arabia and were being told that in that meeting they discuss them points of peace. They also discuss the importance of a twostate solution and how they want to work towards that is about victor, back to you. Let me another challenge. Thank you. We are mourning the sudden loss of a treasured member of the cnn family this morning.
