resident Joe Biden could face growing backlash over his support for aid to Israel as efforts to get Democrats to vote ‘uncommitted’ in the presidential primaries ramp up heading into Super Tuesday when fifteen states and one territory hold contests next week.
It comes after the president received fierce condemnation from some Democrats in Michigan where more than 101,000 voters selected ‘uncommitted’ rather than cast a ballot for the president in the state’s primary as Israel wages war in Gaza.
While the Democratic presidential primary is not considered competitive with a sitting president, the vote in Michigan served as a warning to Biden who won the crucial state in 2020 against Donald Trump by just over 150,000 votes and has been trailing the former president in recent battleground state polls.
On Super Tuesday, Democratic voters in Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia and American Samoa get their say.
While the call for Democrats to vote 'uncommitted' is not expected to have a major impact in many of the Super Tuesday states, campaigns to get Democrats to do so in some states are already underway.

The muzzie vote always goes to the pedophile, so Joe has nothing to worry about. Just to be on the safe side, he's got Heelsup and Blinken going around badmouthing Israel, in much the same way that Brainless Joe himself does.
As I understand it, except for “winner take all” states, voting Uncommitted simply means that some delegates are sent to the convention without being bound to vote for any particular candidate on the first ballot, and can “vote their conscience” (as if they have one).
So an Uncommitted vote just hands over the convention to behind the scenes haggling for votes, most of which will go to Biden anyway.
If you don’t vote for a different candidate you have done nothing to punish Biden and you only strengthen the corrupt backroom machinery. Uncommitted is truly a wasted vote. The only real way to punish Biden is to vote for his Republican opponent, and stay out ot the Dem primary.
