Michigan’s voters run (and hide) from Biden

Published March 1, 2024 6:00am ET



Michigan’s presidential primary reveals the magnitude of President Joe Biden’s collapse. Leftists in the state successfully drew more than 100,000 votes away from the president, far more than the 10,000 protest votes they expected. 

However, the focus on those who voted “uncommitted” in the state’s Democratic primary shows just part of the picture. It is the Democratic no-shows and the surge in Republican voters that plumb the true depth of Biden’s, and potentially Democrats’, fall. Biden did not simply turn many Democrats into “uncommitted” votes; he is turning them off completely — or possibly into Republicans.
