Let's hope a ceasefire sticks and those uncommitted won't cut off their nose to spite their face in the general, because a Trump presidency isn't the answer to their grievances.

Trump claims the GOP is more united than ever. I don't think so. Maybe subjugated until the ballot box.

I think that this is a situation of a politician telling us not to believe what we see. Because you're right. Just the fact that Haley is getting 1/3 of the vote is not good for Trump. I have to imagine that a good portion of those votes will go back to Trump in the general, but most or all? No. Something feels wrong here for the GOP.

Biden might not be in as much trouble as we feared. Muslims in Michigan not voting might be canceled out by some Republicans just staying home.

Some are probably still going to vote, let's be honest.

We'll get at least a dozen stories of MAGAt voter fraud doing exactly that.

Uncommitted doesn't necessarily mean those voters won't support Biden in the general elections.

Because CNN isn't bothering to include the only candidate in the race calling for a ceasefire in their graphics, here's NBC, New York Times and The Guardian's live coverage. A lot of votes for Williamson were cast for the same reason people voted uncommitted.

No? I'm just saying if they think it's going to pressure Biden to do anything it needs to have teeth and it doesn't. Everyone knows they will still vote for him when it matters so it's just pointless. Performative.
I'm not really sure what could actually convince Biden to change his stance it's just frustrating.

Biden has nothing to be happy about. Wayne county isn't even in yet.

He is changing his stance, though, or at least the tone.

It helps that his admin has been meeting with Arabic & Muslim groups to hear out their grievances and suggestions on the matter.

I do think the primary is a good time for pressure, though. We saw Biden start saying more progressive things in 2020 after progressive frustration with him made itself known.

He's definitely shown that he's able to change and grow on various issues.
