More than 100,000 people voted uncommitted in Michigan’s presidential primary this week. What happens next will be, at least in part, up to President Joe Biden.
The uncommitted campaign’s aim was to show the president his support for the Israeli government’s war in Gaza is a decisive factor within the Muslim, Arab-American, and pro-Palestinian communities.
Council on American Islamic Relations Government Affairs Director Robert McCaw says 94% of American Muslims who voted in the Democratic primary voted uncommitted.
“It’s a clear sign that our communities are organized. We’re a political force in these states, and other swing states, and we can tip the results in any election when it counts.”
The exit poll found potential third-party candidates are polling better than Biden and, if an election was held today, 40% of Muslim voters would prefer an unnamed other candidate.
The poll also found 13% might vote for GOP frontrunner Donald Trump.
