Michigan Democrats Divided Over Biden's Israel Policies

Two days before the Michigan Democratic primary, a rally in Dearborn, Mich., urged voters to cast a protest vote by choosing "uncommitted" in objection to President Biden's handling of the Israel-Hamas war. Representative Rashida Tlaib and other speakers at the rally criticized Biden's support for Israel's government and warned that only he and Democrats who support his policies would be to blame if the protest vote helped former President Donald J. Trump win in November. The movement, led by a group called Listen to Michigan, has energized the primary and raised concerns about Biden's support in the swing state for the general election.
