I had to read this headline four times before I understood that it meant more than twice the number of people who gave Biden a victory in WI in 2020 did not vote for Biden in this primary, but instead cast a ballot for ‘uninstructed delegation.’ Very confusing wording.
He better start listening to these folks, or we’re all collectively fucked.
Agreed from a moral point of view, but the electoral math sucks. He can neither lose Jewish, nor Muslim voters and whatever he does, he will alienate one group.
Voters who chose “uninstructed delegation” in Wisconsin’s presidential primary Tuesday more than doubled the 20,000 votes President Joe Biden won the state by in 2020, sending warning signs for his reelection chances in the battleground state.
Voters displeased with Biden’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war organized into a “Listen to Wisconsin” campaign that mirrored other states like Michigan and Minnesota, where a similar “uncommitted” option took about 13% and 19% of the vote in the Democratic primary, respectively.
In Wisconsin, “uninstructed delegation” represented 9% of the vote on the Democratic side as of 10:15 p.m., taking about 42,269 votes. Around 408,610 voters have selected Biden as their choice, or 88%. About 3% voted for Minnesota congressman Dean Phillips, who has ended his campaign and endorsed Biden.
Biden’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war insistence on supplying the bombs that the Israeli government is using to commit genocide against a civilian population using Hamas as a disingenuous pretext
