The Biden campaign is pressing the pander panic button thanks to numbers in many demographics they're not liking:

Biden's addressing this by ramping up his usual tactic: Pandering, fearmongering and lying like crazy.
During his commencement speech at Morehouse College yesterday, Biden was even more shameful than usual, which is a high bar to clear. Biden told the grads that they're victims and America hates them (how inspiring). Biden also lied about Republicans "banning books" and said conservatives are erasing black history.
The White House is so proud of Biden's "angry old man yells at passing cloud" speech that they've reposted part of it:

Biden's speech was loaded with dozens of lies but the MSM fact-checkers will mostly yawn, including the "you're not allowed water when waiting in line to vote in Georgia" giant pile of BS the Dems like to serve up.
But what struck me the most was what Biden didn't tell the Morehouse grads. The White House decided the "you ain't black if you don't vote Democrat" approach backfired so that wasn't included in yesterday's harangue:

I also couldn't help but notice that Biden didn't remind the grads about the time he delivered a warm and fond eulogy for a former member of the Klan:
Remarks by the President and the Vice President at a Memorial Service for Senator Robert C. Byrd
West Virginia State Capitol, Charleston, West Virginia
THE VICE PRESIDENT: Bishop, Reverend Clergy, Mona and Marjorie, the entire Byrd family -- if you didn’t already know it, it’s pretty clear the incredible esteem your father was held in. I know you’ve known that your whole life.
To my fellow members of the Senate, you know, I was telling the President, when I got elected the last time and had the great honor of running with the President, I was elected Vice President and United States senator in the same day for my seventh term. And in talking to -- and I got sworn in for that seventh term because we thought we might need a vote there in those first couple weeks. And every time I sat with the Leader -- I never called Senator Byrd “Senator,” I always called him “Leader”
Biden's people also decided that speech wouldn't be a good time for a stroll down memory lane:
In 1993, racist Joe Biden delivered a hateful speech calling Black men “predators on our streets.”

The Democrats tried to erase this clip after he became their Presidential nominee in 2020.

Everything Biden says about the Right is 100 percent pure projection.
On a separate note I was struck by the complete lack of any kind of excitement for Biden's appearances.
When Biden was in Atlanta his motorcade drew huge crowds that lined the streets. Wait, no it didn't:
Tens of people line the streets to see Biden’s motorcade pass through Atlanta

After his usual angry speech at Morehouse College, Biden went to Detroit and got the same public reception:
