Michigan ground zero as Biden pivots to left on Israel

President Joe Biden knows Michigan will be crucial if he’s going to win a second term in the White House, and it is ground zero for the domestic political implications of U.S. policy on Israel and Gaza.
A Bloomberg News/Morning Consult poll finds the race between Biden and Donald Trump tied after the former president had been ahead in the swing state for weeks.
Michigan made headlines following its Democratic primary for the more than 100,000 voters who wrote in “uncommitted” as a protest vote against Biden’s strong support for Israel. The president has been more equivocal in recent weeks when speaking about the Israel-Hamas war.
“They have a point,” Biden said Tuesday when pro-Palestinian protesters interrupted him during a speech in North Carolina. “We need to get a lot more care into Gaza.”
Biden initially outlined a strongly pro-Israel stance following the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas terrorist attacks, recalling his first trip to the country in 1973 and flying in to meet with Israeli leaders the next week.
But pro-Palestinian protests have followed the president at nearly every stop in the months since, and the “uncommitted” campaign in Michigan threatens his stance in a critical “blue wall” state this November.

Easily predicted
It’s tough for Biden to win without Mi. And he can’t afford for his pro HAMAS wing to stay home on election night.
And he already has the “Jewish” vote

This election is sounding and feeling a whole lot more by the day like 1968. Humphrey faced the same predicaments. Let's hope those trends hve the same results. Humphrey had a nemisis in Eugene McCarthy, while his role in 2024 is being played by The Squad.

Joe can't have his cake and eat it too. That being said, he'll continue to back-stab Israel and praise the pro-hamas MI muzzies.

This is a calculated move. It would be one that I would do if I was in his position.

Might as well call a spade a spade.
