Joe Biden to visit Clemson University

Vice President Joe Biden will be in Nashville today to deliver a speech to the National League of Cities. Biden will place focus on the need to “fundamentally shift” how students view sexual assault and the reality that “solutions begin with all of us”.

The campaign is part of a White House initiative to end sexual assault on university campuses with the help of college students.

In the days before visiting Syracuse, Biden will speak at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Clemson University in South Carolina, and Morehouse College in Atlanta.

Biden said that local governments deal with numerous issues that affect residents every day – from power outages to running jails and zoning – but often aren’t recognized for that work.

Larry Wilmore examined the defeat in Tuesday’s elections of an expansive non-discrimination ordinance in Houston, Texas, due to an anti-transgender scare campaign depicting men stalking little girls in women’s bathrooms.

Joe Biden announced last month that he will not run for president in 2016.

Biden has been a longtime, outspoken advocate for sexual assault survivors.

This is the second high-profile visit for Clemson University in November.
