The uncommitted vote to protest President Joe Biden’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war in Maryland’s Democrat primary on Tuesday is on pace to eclipse the 70,000 threshold, showing the pro-Palestinian anti-Biden movement continues to grow three months out from the Democrat National Convention.
Results from the primary stalled out early Wednesday morning and remained mainly unchanged throughout the day. With just 67 percent of the vote reported as of 4:25 p.m. ET, the uncommitted number sat at 47,358, for 10.4 percent of the vote, the New York Times election results show. Biden garnered 394,266 votes for 86.3 percent, while Marianne Williamson and Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN) pinged at two percent and 1.3 percent, respectively, as of this writing.
The 70,000 mark would be one of the best uncommitted showings outside of the swing state of Michigan, where the movement began. The Listen to Michigan campaign smashed its goal of turning out 10,000 uncommitted votes, as more than 100,000 protested Biden at the ballot box.
Let us hope that they really continue and don’t vote for him in November!
