"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.

Dean Phillips Faces Uphill Battle for Democratic Support in Presidential Bid

Democratic presidential candidate Dean Phillips, a moderate congressman from Minnesota, is challenging Joe Biden for the party's nomination, arguing that Biden is the only Democrat who could lose to Donald Trump. Phillips aims to bring the country together and has pledged to appoint both Democrats and Republicans to his cabinet if elected. However, his campaign has faced criticism from fellow Democrats who believe it could weaken Biden's chances in the 2024 election. Phillips is taking advantage of the opportunity to gain attention in New Hampshire, where Biden won't appear on the primary ballot due to a party decision. Despite facing political headwinds, Phillips believes he is telling Democrats hard truths about the concerns of many Americans regarding a Biden-Trump rematch.
