President Joe Biden's reelection campaign is facing resistance in Michigan as activists try to persuade people to cast votes against him in the primary.
Theis trying to persuade Democratic voters to vote “uncommitted” in the state’s primary election on Tuesday as a protest to Biden’s handling of the war and continuing to provide aid to Israel in the war.
“I'm not sure what we're going to see on Tuesday, to tell you the truth,” Whitmer, a co-chair of Biden’s campaign, said on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday. “This is, I think, a very high-stakes moment. I am encouraging people to cast an affirmative vote for President Biden. I understand the pain that people are feeling.
Biden’s support for Israel and what activists see as a lack of effort to get Israel and Hamas to agree to a ceasefire has frustrated many Arab and Muslim Americans, which are a crucial piece of the Democratic coalition in Michigan. Biden also faced a similar effort in New Hampshire, where activists encouraged people to write in “ceasefire,” though it was ineffective in altering the results as the president won the state with nearly 64% of the support despite not appearing on the ballot due to changes in the party’s primary calendar. In South Carolina, the first state he regularly campaigned in, Biden won with 96% of the vote.
