Michigan governor expecting ‘sizable’ number of uncommitted votes in primary: ‘A lot of people…are hurting’

Progressives in Michigan withheld support from Biden in the primary due to his stance on Israel's conflict with Hamas. This sparked a movement supported by key figures like Rashida Tlaib.
Despite the protest vote, Biden easily won the Democratic primary with over 80% support, while the uncommitted votes reached about 13%. The campaign acknowledged the substantial message sent by the uncommitted voters.
Biden's allies countered the progressive critics with advertisements and support from Governor Gretchen Whitmer. The president hinted at a possible ceasefire in Gaza, while still securing a strong victory in Michigan.
