"Michigan Democrats' Uncommitted Vote Sends Message on Gaza"

In Michigan, Democratic voters are organizing to send a message to President Biden over his support for Israel amid the Gaza conflict by urging others to vote "uncommitted" in the state's primary. With the largest Arab-American population in the US, the outcome will test the impact of Biden's policy on the Democrats. Grassroots organizations are mobilizing, and discontent with the president's Middle East policy is widespread, particularly in areas like Dearborn. Despite attempts to pacify frustrations, the president's perceived culpability for the war's destruction is harming Democrats' standing. Michigan is seen as a must-win state for Democrats in the upcoming presidential election, and Biden's support is being challenged by voters concerned about the Gaza crisis, the economy, and federal spending on wars.
