Listen to this note:
In the Michigan primary elections, more than 100,000 votes were cast as uncommitted or for no one, with which the Arab people sounded the alarm bell to tell President Joseph Biden that they will no longer tolerate his disdain for the genocide of the Palestinian people at the hands of the far-right Israeli government.
Biden won the primary with 81 percent in Michigan, but 13.3 percent, or more than 100,000 votes, is a brutal number in that state since, in the last presidential election, Biden beat Republican Donald Trump by only 154,188 votes.
The Arab community took this as a strategy and, instead of not showing up to vote and remaining invisible, they cast their votes without commitment as a protest to make known the importance of their vote.
It will be interesting to see whether this dynamic carries over into the next primary, and whether it will cause a reaction in President Biden's performance.
