New #Michigan Campaign Urges Voters To Vote Uncommitted And Not President Joe Biden

A group of Democrats who started a movement in opposition to President Biden's support for Israel's war in Gaza sent a clear message in the Michigan primary, exceeding the amount of votes the group was aiming for and complicating the key battleground state ahead of this year's general election.

"Yesterday was a resounding victory," Dearborn Mayor Abdullah Hammoud, who joined the "Listen to Michigan" movement, said during a news conference Wednesday claiming victory for the movement.

The comments come following the movement's push to have Democratic voters select "uncommitted" in Tuesday's Democratic primary surpassed the group's expectations, with just over 101,000 people selecting the option, according to Associated Press numbers as of Wednesday afternoon. That mark was more than 10 times the group's stated goal, which was to get 10,000 people, or roughly the same as the margin of victory in the 2016 election in the state, to select the option.Meanwhile, Listen to Michigan supporters have warned they are willing to continue growing the movement ahead of the general election, a potential headache for the Biden campaign in a battleground state that has seen close margins in the last two presidential elections.
