"Michigan Primary Results: Biden Wins Despite Protest Vote, Trump Secures Republican Victory"

President Joe Biden is projected to win Michigan's Democratic presidential primary despite a significant protest vote over strong US support for Israel in the war in Gaza, with "uncommitted" votes exceeding expectations at 13%. Many voters in the critical swing state have been angered by the US stance in the Israel-Hamas conflict, leading to calls for a stronger stance against Israel's military campaign. The "uncommitted" movement gained endorsements from elected officials, including congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, and activists celebrated the size of the protest vote as a victory. The primary contests indicate that Biden and Trump are on course to face off in November's general election, with Michigan being a critical swing state.
