President Joe Biden may have an uphill battle ahead of him in Pennsylvania after the write-in candidate option on the Democratic primary ballot notched over 60,000 votes.

While the list of all the write-in entries has yet to be revealed, an organized protest effort against Biden was launched in the Keystone State that urged voters upset with his handling of the Israel–Hamas war to vote against him.



Uncommitted PA, the group that spearheaded the campaign, set a goal of 40,000 “uncommitted” votes during the primary. The Associated Press had tallied 60,223 total write-in votes with 99% of the vote counted as of Thursday afternoon.

“We are celebrating that massive victory of over 60,000 votes, which have nearly doubled the total of write-ins in 2020, and even more so than the write-ins in 2016,” Rah Noonan, an organizer with Uncommitted PA, told the Washington Examiner.

The coalition mobilized the write-in campaign in roughly one month, launching on March 25 with only volunteer members, a sign of the intense passion girding the movement.
