"Democrats Warn Biden as 'Uncommitted' Votes Send Clear Message"

Democratic donors are urging President Biden to take heed of recent presidential primary results, particularly in Michigan where over 100,000 voters marked "uncommitted" on their ballots, as a "warning sign" and a "wake-up call." The protest vote was attributed to Biden's support of Israel's war in Gaza. The memo from Way to Win, a national hub of progressive donors, cautioned that the energy behind the "uncommitted" votes should not be ignored, and highlighted the potential risk of disenchanted and demobilized voters impacting the 2024 election. The memo suggests Biden should address the concerns of those protesting him, change course on Gaza, elevate Vice President Harris on the campaign trail, and emphasize the need for Democrats to go out and vote.
