Office Hours: Should the Michigan primary result be a wakeup call to Biden?

Friends,

The question was never whether Joe Biden would win the Michigan primary. It was how successful would be a homegrown campaign to persuade Michiganders to vote “uncommitted.”

Well, we now have the results, and they should serve as a wakeup call to Biden. With most votes counted on Wednesday morning, 13% of Michigan’s Democratic primary voters had chosen “uncommitted” — a share that represented more than 100,000 people in Michigan who made the effort to lodge their disapproval of the president.
