Biden’s ‘uncommitted’ problem

Tens of thousands of Democratic voters sent a message to President Biden, after they chose to mark “uncommitted” on their Super Tuesday ballots over voting for him.
With 99% of the expected votes counted in Minnesota, nearly 1 in 3 voters backed someone other than the president. And nearly 46,000 voters, or nearly 19% of Democrats, marked their ballots “uncommitted,” or willfully deciding not to back any named candidate, to protest his support for Israel.
The sizable protest vote in Minnesota extended to six other states — Alabama, Colorado, Iowa, Massachusetts, North Carolina and Tennessee — where tens of thousands of voters also refused to support Biden, undoubtedly raising questions for his re-election campaign. Michigan primary voters last week also used the uncommitted ballot line to protest Biden.
Progressive groups have backed the “uncommitted” vote to protest Biden’s support for Israel and its continued war against the Hamas terror group in Gaza, which has resulted in millions of Palestinians becoming displaced from their homes and the deaths of tens of thousands of civilians.
