Michigan primary lessons begin and end with blue-collar voters

Michigan’s primary election results showed several strengths and weaknesses for both former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden that are worth exploring for the two probable nominees for the November general election.

First, Biden. Just over 756,000 Democrats voted on Tuesday, with around 13% of them voting “uncommitted.” Another 4% voted for spiritual author Marianne Williamson, who had suspended her campaign three weeks prior to the primary only to “un-suspend” it in a post on Twitter after besting Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN), who received 2.6%.
