“With his own party divided and universities engulfed in increasingly confrontational protests over the war in Gaza, President Joe Biden will deliver a major address on Tuesday that advisers hope will demonstrate that he can bring moral clarity to the unrest,” Politico reports.
“But the speech will also test a rhetorical style and approach to presidential communication that even allies worry doesn’t always resonate best with voters.”
“For much of his presidency, Biden has eschewed some of the traditional tools of the bully pulpit — extended news conferences and sit down interviews with major news outlets — in favor of the tentpole address: a speech designed to reframe the debate with a grand statement.”
