Minneapolis, Minnesota — An option to cast a protest vote against President Biden and his response to the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza is on the ballot in at least seven Super Tuesday states.
Organizers have pressed the president to call for a permanent mutual cease-fire, more direct U.S. humanitarian aid into Gaza and the end of “unconditional weapons funding of Israel,” Listen to Michigan said on its website.
“These uncommitted campaigns give us a clear, direct, tangible way to demonstrate the size and strength of our movement,” said Wamiq Chowdhury, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America in North Carolina, during an organizing call last week.
During remarks in Selma, Alabama, on Sunday, Vice President Kamala Harris called for an immediate six-week cease-fire to the fighting in Gaza, as well as for Israel to do more to increase the flow of aid into the territory.
Groups pushing for the uncommitted option had a lukewarm reaction to Harris’ remarks, with some noting it was a “tone shift,” but calling on Mr. Biden to press harder for a permanent cease-fire.
The campaign also argued the high turnout Mr. Biden got in Michigan, over 623,000 votes when there was no major contested election on the ballot, is a bright spot for the incumbent president’s support.
