The “uncommitted” vote in Michigan way outperformed expectations last night, reflecting Democratic unhappiness with Joe Biden’s support for Israel’s brutal war. He should change course on Gaza immediately.

    Normal is 10-20k votes, so 100k a bit eye popping. Obama’s primary they went 208k uncommitted to support Obama (who was not on the ballot.), but normal is 20k give or take.

    Also? That’s enough votes for him to lose Michigan if they simply don’t vote for Biden. And if they vote for Trump out of pure spite?

    It’s a problem.

    People can beat the “not voting Biden is a vote for Trump” drum; but to perfectly candid, that’s not going to change behavior…. Which is why Hillary lost in 16.
