Run for Speaker of the House. Hello and welcome to the 538 Politics podcast, I'm Galen Druke.

College graduation season is getting underway with a spotlight on campus protests over the war in

This morning, Monday morning, Columbia University cancelled its main commencement

event after calling in the NYPD last week to disband an encampment and clear an administrative

building that protesters had taken over.

All of this is focusing attention on the youth vote

and how these scenes could shape Americans' votes this fall.

So we're gonna dig into it. We also have a good or bad use of
