President Biden's Event Strategy Amid Pro-Palestinian Protests
President Biden's team is taking steps to minimize disruptions from pro-Palestinian protests by holding smaller events, keeping locations secret, and considering vetting attendees. This has resulted in zero disruptions but limits Biden's reach to key constituencies like young voters.
