New York Democrats Urged to Protest Biden with Blank Ballots

The Working Families Party leads a campaign against Biden's Gaza policy, signaling deep divisions within the party.

Democratic voters in New York are being urged to leave their ballots blank in the presidential primary as a protest against President Biden's handling of the war in Gaza.
The New York Working Families Party is spearheading the 'Leave it Blank' campaign, aiming to pressure Biden to pursue a permanent ceasefire and address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
The campaign reflects broader discontent within the Democratic Party, particularly among Arab, Muslim, and young voters, over the administration's Middle East policy.
Despite Biden having secured the Democratic nomination, the protest votes represent a significant challenge to his campaign, highlighting internal divisions ahead of the November election against Donald Trump.
The movement has gained traction in other states, with over 101,000 'uncommitted' votes cast in Michigan's primary, signaling a growing trend of dissent within the party.
