Arab-American Michigan mayor votes ‘uncommitted’ for Gaza victims

Abdullah Hammoud, the mayor of Dearborn – a Detroit suburb – cited Palestinian grandfather Khaled Nabhan who was filmed kissing the eyes of his granddaughter Reem after she was killed in an Israeli attack in Gaza last year, as he shared a photo of his ballot.

Many progressives in Michigan are voting “uncommitted” in the Democratic presidential primaries in protest against Biden’s “unwavering” support for the war on Gaza.

For our grandfather Khaled and the soul of his soul Reem,

For the 100,000 killed, wounded, and missing,

For the hope of a Free Palestine.

What happens if Biden loses Michigan?

For the Democratic primary for Michigan: The 117 delegates would go to the highest elected, so if it isn't Biden then either Dean Phillips or Marianne Williamson would gain the ~117 delegates

For the US President Election in Nov: Trump gains 15 electoral votes over Biden.

It'll be interesting how the Israel v Palestine "War" will continue to effect the Election. (Personally, I didn't think a huge amount would do what they are doing now for their primary vote).
