Aaron Bushnell, a 25-year-old US Air Force airman, set himself on fire outside the Israeli Embassy in Washington, DC, as a protest against Israel's military actions in Gaza, shouting "Free Palestine" before collapsing and later dying in hospital. His shocking act has prompted vigils and discussions among activists, while friends in San Antonio, Texas, where he lived, struggle to comprehend his extreme protest and mourn the loss of a "normal, quiet, friendly" guy who volunteered with community groups and embraced leftist politics.

"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.

"Trump and Biden Secure Victories in Michigan Primary Elections"

President Biden won Michigan’s Democratic primary election, but faced significant opposition over his support for Israel as it wages war in Gaza, with a substantial percentage of voters casting ballots for “uncommitted” as part of a protest movement against him. Former President Donald J. Trump also won the Republican primary, demonstrating enduring weakness within both parties as meaningful numbers of Democrats and Republicans voted against them. The "uncommitted" movement aimed to warn Mr. Biden to change his stance on Gaza or face repercussions in November, with the threat most urgent in Michigan, which was vital to Mr. Biden’s 2020 victory.
