Gretchen Whitmer responds to calls by some Democrats to vote ‘uncommitted’ in Michigan’s primary on Tuesday
Gretchen Whitmer, the Michigan governor, pushed back on calls to not vote for Joe Biden over his handling of the Israel-Gaza conflict, saying on Sunday that could help Trump get re-elected.
“It’s important not to lose sight of the fact that any vote that’s not cast for Joe Biden supports a second Trump term,” she said on Sunday during an interview on CNN’s State of the Union. “A second Trump term would be devastating. Not just on fundamental rights, not just on our democracy here at home, but also when it comes to foreign policy. This was a man who promoted a Muslim ban.”
Whitmer, who is a co-chair of Biden’s 2024 campaign, also said she wasn’t sure what to expect when it came to the protest vote.
Rashida Tlaib, a Democrat who is the only Palestinian-American serving in Congress, urged Democrats last week to vote “uncommitted” in Michigan’s 27 February primary.
There’s nothing in this article that indicates she’s talking about the primary vs the general election
True. Which is just bad reporting
This is clearly about the write in campaign in Michigan that is meant to be a protest about Israel’s treatment of Palestine. There is literally no other way to interpret this.
Also, nothing in the article indicates it’s about the primary? It’s literally in the byline.
I live in a safe state so I’m writing in “free Palestine” for president this November and there’s nothing Biden fans can do to change my mind
