'Message has been received': Biden's campaign reacts to 'uncommitted' votes

NPR

The group Listen to Michigan did not ask their followers to stay home from Tuesday's Democratic primary. Instead, they asked them to vote for "uncommitted."

All Things Considered host Mary Louise Kelly spoke to Mitch Landrieu — the national co-chair of the Biden campaign and former mayor of New Orleans — about the Michigan results, the campaign's direction going forward, and how it plans to connect with younger, Arab American and Muslim voters.

Mitch Landrieu: Well, first of all, the president got 80% last night, on top of New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada. So the president continues to really hit it out of the park – really, really, really strong night. There's no doubt that there were some folks in Michigan that wanted to send the president a message. He's received that message many, many times. He actually sent a team of high ranking officials out to Michigan to talk to folks about the very difficult issue that the president and the United States is confronting in the war between Israel and Gaza. So that message has been received. The president actually thinks that people ought to voice their opinion, but last night he got 80% of the vote.

1. Of course Biden sent high ranking officials to hear those concerns. Before the election.

Biden is aware and sensitive to their concerns. Always has been. No surprise.
It’s hard to know what the good Cmgresswoman hopes to achieve.

2. Do those uncommitted even pay attention to the news?

Has it not been reported that Biden is trying to reach a cease fire?

And that Biden doesn't control the idiot in Israel?

3. Does the news cover wages, healthcare, rent, etc?

For most people in the real world the 'news' is just political gossip

4. they want him to issue an ultimatum,

potentially destroy our 75-year alliance with Israel and lose the support of millions of Jewish voters.

they get their news from Twitter.

5. The Israeli government contains real racists and fascists and we are sending them bombs.

Bombs that are being used every day to kill children.

7. Again I'll say it. Rule of never giving Democrats the benefit of the doubt, assuming bad intentions

or being obliviously out-of-touch and not listening/ignoring/not doing anything. Why those following the rule think Democrats must be constantly threatened and attacked to pull/push them to the Left (of which only they are in charge of the litmus purity test). It's stupid.

6. the most important thing about what the Biden campaign is doing

...is that Trump is the opponent.
