How will the US student protests affect President Biden’s bid for a second term? | Inside Story
Student demonstrations against Israel’s war on Gaza on US campuses are escalating.
Protesters want their universities to cut ties with companies linked to Israel.
The crisis is becoming a political headache for President Joe Biden, who is seeking a second term in November.
Republicans are criticising his handling of the demonstrations even as he continues to support Israel’s war on Gaza, which has killed close on 35,000 Palestinians.
Are the student protests taking a political turn?
Could they cost Biden the support of a significant section of young voters – in what’s expected to be a closely fought election?
