Gretchen Whitmer responds to calls by some Democrats to vote ‘uncommitted’ in Michigan’s primary on Tuesday
Gretchen Whitmer, the Michigan governor, pushed back on calls to not vote for Joe Biden over his handling of the Israel-Gaza conflict, saying on Sunday that could help Trump get re-elected.
“It’s important not to lose sight of the fact that any vote that’s not cast for Joe Biden supports a second Trump term,” she said on Sunday during an interview on CNN’s State of the Union. “A second Trump term would be devastating. Not just on fundamental rights, not just on our democracy here at home, but also when it comes to foreign policy. This was a man who promoted a Muslim ban.”
Whitmer, who is a co-chair of Biden’s 2024 campaign, also said she wasn’t sure what to expect when it came to the protest vote.
Rashida Tlaib, a Democrat who is the only Palestinian-American serving in Congress, urged Democrats last week to vote “uncommitted” in Michigan’s 27 February primary.
It’s not some unsolvable conundrum, some Gordeon knot. Biden just has not to support a genocide and these people would support him.
Can you point to one piece of evidence that explicitly states that Biden supports genocide? Can you also point to one piece of evidence that Trump explicitly states he would NOT support genocide?
Biden going around Congress to give weapons and money to Israel. The US vetoing the ceasefire resolution In the UN. Him never saying any criticism about Netanyahu or Israel in public. His public comments previously of supporting Israel and saying that if one didn’t exist, the US would have to create one to defend her interests.
I’m sure Trump would definitely support this genocide, too, but he’s not President right now so it’s moot. Biden has the power to stop it so he’s the one that people need to pressure.
Sorry when I said evidence I meant actual evidence. Quotes, news articles, sources, etc. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
