Biden Has A Unexpected Election Problem Called Uncommitted And It's Growing!!

Super Tuesday proved to be more telling for President Biden if he believed that the large "uncommitted" protest vote in Michigan's primary last month was an exception. Particularly in opposition to Biden's backing of Israel in the Hamas conflict, around 19% of voters in Minnesota, for instance, selected the "uncommitted" option.

Reuters reports that the outcome "again raised uncomfortable questions" for Biden about the general election as well as the remaining primaries. The outcomes, as presented by Axios:
 

• About 88,000 votes, or 12.7%, were not committed in North Carolina.
• 55,800, or 9.4%, in Massachusetts
• 45,900, 18.9% in Minnesota
• 43,400, 8.1%, Denver
• 11,200; 6%, Alabama
• 10,400, 7.9% in Tennessee
• 480, 3.9%

There are a lot of Somali people living in Minnesota, but the high proportion of voters who are unhappy with Biden's support for Israel indicates that resentment has "spread beyond Muslim Americans to progressives and younger voters," according to the New York Times news. A "wave of urgency among progressive Americans" is mentioned in a similar way by The Hill about this matter.

White House response: According to campaign spokesperson Lauren Hitt, "the president believes that making your voice heard and participating in our democracy is fundamental to who we are as Americans," as reported by the Times early on Wednesday. "He shares our desire to see the Middle East come to a fair and durable peace. To that purpose, he is putting forth endless effort."

In a speech last week, Vice President Kamala Harris made a forceful case for a ceasefire, which is another indication that the White House is taking this seriously. Asma Nizami, a Minnesota organizer of Vote Uncommitted, told Reuters that she "does not think the vice president would have made such a sweeping statement if Super Tuesday was not happening, and we have been seeing the same thing with President Biden."
