A majority of Democrat residential primary voters in Dearborn, Michigan, voted “uncommitted” over President Joe Biden in protest of his handling of Israel’s war in Gaza.
With 47 out of the city’s 48 precincts reporting results, the “uncommitted” vote in Dearborn was 56 per cent while Biden had received 40 percent, according to results posted on the city clerk’s website.
A robust campaign, called Listen to Michigan, began just a few weeks ago to encourage voters to select “uncommitted” as a way to pressure Biden to demand a permanent cease-fire.
Almost 30,000 Palestinians have died in Gaza since Israel launched its offensive after Hamas’ October 7 attack, The Associated Press reported, citing Palestinian health officials.
