Sanders Declines to Join Protest Vote Against Biden in Michigan
Despite disagreements over Gaza policy, Bernie Sanders supports Biden's reelection, diverging from the progressive group Our Revolution.
- Bernie Sanders is not supporting the 'uncommitted' protest vote in Michigan's Democratic primary, aimed at protesting Biden's support for Israel's actions in Gaza.
- Our Revolution, a group co-founded by Sanders, is leading the campaign to encourage Michigan voters to cast 'uncommitted' votes as a protest.
- The campaign targets Michigan due to its significant Muslim and Arab American populations, with local leaders and national figures like Rep. Rashida Tlaib's sister participating.
- Sanders opposes the Biden administration's stance on Gaza but continues to support Biden's reelection, citing the need for unity.
- The split between Sanders and Our Revolution highlights differing strategies within the progressive movement on influencing Biden's policies.
