‘Uncommitted’ Gaza Protest Vote Pulls in Nearly 20% in Minnesota

President Joe Biden may have won almost all of Super Tuesday’s Democratic nominating contests, but voters opposing his support for Israel in its war against Hamas in Gaza were still able to send him a strong message of dissent.

In Minnesota, almost 46,000 voters backed “uncommitted,” with the protest movement taking around 19 percent of the vote and finishing ahead of the likes of Rep.
