Uppers And Lowers!

A 100,000 voters choosing uncommitted made a difference,

As expected, President Joe Biden and former president Donald J. Trump won Michigan.

Yet, the results show a picture that troubles both candidates.

Biden carried the state with 80% of the vote with "uh oh" uncommitted reigning in at 15%. That means over 100,000 voters rejected the president thanks to his fucking hardline stance towards Israel. Dean Phillips got 2% and former candidate Marianne Williamson got 3%.

Trump carried the state with 60% over his rival Nikki Haley. That 30% rejected MAGA due to his constant foot in the mouth disease as well as his criminal indictments.

The state is clearly in play.

So now I have Michigan in the TOSS UP category for both U.S. Senate and Presidential races. If they nominate Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), she will face a backlash from Arab American voters. Actor Hill Harper will be a scapegoat to the Republican noise machine and show their hypocrisy when it comes to celebrities running for government office. 

Peter Meijer, one of the heirs to Meijer superstores is likely the Republican Senate nominee and he will play the moderate conservative. 

Trump will forgive him. Meijer voted for impeaching Trump for the insurrection.

Michigan is in play and Biden lost 3% of the voters.

Listen to Michigan, a campaign started and spearheaded by predominantly younger Arab and Muslim organizers, led a push for Democrats to vote uncommitted in the primary as a protest vote.

They're urging Biden to call for an immediate and permanent cease-fire in Gaza and stop sending U.S. aid to Israel. It comes nearly five months after the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas on Israel that killed 1,200 people. Since then, almost 30,000 people in Gaza have been killed.

"We have led a movement that is far exceeding expectations, using the ballot box to urge America to stop killing our families," said Listen to Michigan spokesperson and Democratic strategist Abbas Alawieh at a watch party in Dearborn, Mich. "That's all we're asking for. Just stop killing our families," he added.

Dearborn has been at the center of this movement, where more than half the population is of Middle Eastern or North African descent.

"This coalition is one that wants to bring the morality back to this country because somewhere along the line, we have lost it," said Dearborn Mayor Abdullah Hammoud at the watch party Tuesday night.

"We will be that movement to bring [elected officials] back in line, if not with this primary election, then with November," he added.
