(Hill) Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) said she was “proud” to vote “uncommitted” in the Michigan primary Tuesday, casting a protest vote against President Biden amid frustration over the war in Gaza.
“I was proud today to walk in and pull a Democratic ballot and vote uncommitted. We must protect our democracy. We must make sure that our government is about us, about the people,” Tlaib said in a video shared by the Listen to Michigan campaign, calling for the protest vote.
“When 74 percent of Democrats in Michigan support a cease-fire, yet President Biden is not hearing us, this is the way we can use our democracy to say ‘listen.’ Listen to Michigan.”
