A handful of states saw key primary contests on Tuesday, teeing up November matchups in closely watched House races and underscoring voter frustration with both President Biden and former President Trump.
Biden and Trump sailed to wins in their respective presidential primaries in Oregon and Kentucky, but both White House hopefuls saw new iterations of protest votes that have cropped up throughout this cycle.
In Kentucky, roughly 6 percent of the GOP primary vote went to Trump’s former rival Nikki Haley, who dropped out of the race weeks ago. She’s pulled in sizeable figures in several states as some Republicans voice upset with a Biden-Trump rematch.
On the Bluegrass State’s Democratic ticket, an “uncommitted” option swallowed up 18 percent of the vote, cutting into Biden’s victory. “Uncommitted” — which has surfaced as a progressive protest vote against the administration’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war — has scored 28 delegates so far, according to Decision Desk HQ’s tracker. Though that’s far from Biden’s 3,000-plus tally, it’s still a notable sign of discontent in the party.

Good idea! LOL
With their respective nominations secured (at least numerically in Pedo Joe’s case), I wouldn’t read too much into these results.
Kennedy is the new Perot
Percentages of one side and the other are useless. What are the actual vote turnouts for dems vs repubs?
The Hill.
This is written by one of the worst groups of liars on the planet, the wretched, filthy, communist Hill. If they are lumping Biden and Trump together, their beloved Democrats are in trouble. It is among the propagandists’ last resorts to assess halfway blame to their side.
In my small liberal county in Oregon...GOP turnout was 65.18%...DEM was 58.70%...we had two Parks & Rec measures that would have increased property taxes by 500% that were resoundingly beaten...68% & 62% NO. Also voter turnout was 47%. County has about 16,458 active registered voters.
Trump got 85% of the vote, Biden got 71%. In spite of the spin, a good performance by Trump, a mediocre performance by Biden.
no one goes there, it’s too crowded.
I’m guessing those who voted to increase property taxes by 500% weren’t property owners. Of course, their rent payment would go up but a lot of them are too dumb to realize that.
Well...some rich folks were pushing the measures, too. It is a small town...battle in local letters to editor and on “Nextdoor” exposed them. Also, we are a Resort/Farm town...lots of outsiders.
I hope not...Perot gave us Clinton and his stupid cankley partner...
I saw a Kennedy bumper sticker deep in cowboy country here in Texas, it was disturbing. Of course it was on a mini van.
My district is hopelessly democrat and 100% child sniffer Biden. I am campaigning for RFK to take votes from the chomo.
I’d say that 18% uncommitted for Biden is VERY BAD. As for Trump and Haley getting 6%...so what? She won’t be running in November and I bet that 6% won’t be going for Biden.
Hillary in denial.......insists the election was stolen from her.
