Student protests on college campuses, primarily at Columbia University in New York, have erupted over the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict, posing a dilemma for President Biden. While Biden supports Israel’s military operations, he also emphasizes the need to minimize civilian casualties and provide humanitarian aid to Gaza. The protests have brought antisemitism and campus safety concerns to the forefront, leading the White House to condemn antisemitism and congressional members to demand action to protect Jewish students. The political potency of the protests is evident as they have become a focal point for Republican criticism of Biden’s handling of the situation. Despite the protests, Biden maintains the support of progressive groups for his stance on social issues such as climate change, LGBTQ+ rights, and student debt forgiveness. However, the impact of the student demonstrations on Biden’s potential reelection chances remains unclear, with some experts questioning their broader influence.
