President Biden quickly sailed to victory in Minnesota, but he was once again vexed by considerable defections as tens of thousands marked themselves “uncommitted.”

Disgruntled progressive activists and organizations have embarked on a campaign to push voters to mark themselves “uncommitted” in protest of Biden’s stance on the Israel-Hamas War.

With 95% of the expected vote tabulated, 70.5% of voters backed Biden while 19.0% went uncommitted, according to a tabulation by The Associated Press.

In Minnesota, more than 45,000 marked themselves “uncommitted” — a number greater than the margin by which Hillary Clinton defeated Donald Trump in the state in 2016.

    It’s a step in the right direction… a few months ago, they were dully supporting the Israeli government. It’s a pretty fast turnaround considering the history of the relationship.
