On Tuesday, Biden’s critics encouraged Democratic voters to vote as “uncommitted” in an effort to protest Biden’s support for Israel in its conflict with Hamas.
According to the Associated Press news agency, out of 25% of votes counted, Biden received 80% support while “uncommitted votes” stood at 14.5%.
One of the Biden protesters who voted “uncommitted” included Michigan Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib, a Palestinian American. In a video posted to X, Tlaib said, “President Biden can’t hear us.”
Another Democrat who voted “uncommitted” Tuesday is Carol Reynoso, of Dearborn, who voted for Biden in 2020.
In an interview, Carol said, “I think it’s a great opportunity to send the message to the administration that people in Michigan are concerned about what’s happening and that a large group of people want a cease and desist.” -fire. »

As his opponent failed to garner enough support, the president is scrambling to reach the general election, where he is expected to face his 2020 rival, former President Donald Trump.
Michigan is a key battleground state expected to play an important role in November’s presidential election. In the 2020 presidential election, Biden won against Trump by 2.8 percentage points in Michigan.
Ahead of the primary election, many prominent Democrats traveled to Michigan to appeal to voters for Biden.
They spoke with union, minority and suburban voters whose support will ensure Biden wins the November election. The list also included Vice President Kamala Harris, who discussed abortion rights with the people of Michigan.
Harris said, “Michigan residents cannot sit idly by and take comfort without also understanding that the election is important and that there is a comprehensive, concerted effort to pass a nationwide ban, which would mean that residents of Michigan would not be safe. »
However, the president will face many challenges in the 2024 elections. His age and health are people’s biggest concerns, making him a less favorable candidate.

It remains to be seen whether President Biden’s determination will allow him to win the general election and be sworn in to the office of president again in 2024.
