Joe Biden and Donald Trump registered decisive victories in the primaries of their parties in Michigan tonight (Wednesday), but the President of the United States and his predecessor in office received warning lights from voters in the key state.
Biden, who is running for a second term in November, received about 80% of the votes in the Democratic primaries, but a campaign by pro-Palestinian activists who are angry about his support for Israel was more successful than expected: 13% - more than 58 thousand votes - chose the option "not committed" on the ballots. .
The organizers of the protest campaign in Michigan - where the largest Arab community in the United States lives - aimed for ten thousand votes.
