‘Uncommitted’ Is Running Out of Opportunities

March 12, 2024 at 6:47 am EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

Politico: “Tuesday’s primary in Washington state could be the last strong chance for voters to signal their opposition to Biden’s policies in the Middle East after a surge in ‘uncommitted’ votes last week led to its highest vote shares of the 2024 Democratic primary: 19 percent in Minnesota and 29 percent in Hawaii. Washington’s liberal voters could well deliver another eye-popping figure.”

“After that, however, the chances for ‘uncommitted’ voters to send a message to Biden and the Democratic Party are few and far between.”
