Michigan Democrats Send Message to President Biden

Over 100,000 Michigan Democrats used the uncommitted option in the primary to express dissatisfaction with President Biden's handling of the conflict in Gaza. The group 'Listen to Michigan' aimed to urge Biden to call for an immediate ceasefire and halt US support to Israel to prevent losing key support in the general elections. This voting trend reflects Michigan's significant Arab and Muslim population's concerns about the lack of humanity for the Palestinian people. The high uncommitted votes signal a warning to Biden about the importance of addressing the Gaza conflict effectively.
