Michigan Democrats who voted in 2020 for President Biden have said they may not vote on Election Day due to his treatment of Gaza.

Michigan voters went to the polls on Tuesday for the state-run primaries, where both Republicans and Democrats chose their respective party’s nominees for 2024.


The polls are open between 7 am and 8 pm local time. The majority of the state is on Eastern Standard Time. However, four counties in the Upper Peninsula follow Central Time.

Democrat Primary voters can choose between President Biden and his challengers including Rep. Dean Phillips from Minnesota and author Marianne Williamson. These voters can also cast an “uncommitted vote”.

On Tuesday, Republican voters will be able to choose between former President Trump or former South Carolina Governor. Nikki Haley is the only Republican candidate left in the race. Others, such as the former New Jersey Governor, have dropped out. Chris Christie and Florida Governor. Ron DeSantis and businessman Vivek RAMASWAMMA, as well as former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson. Asa Hutchinson. The stakes are 16 delegates.

Michigan’s Democrat-controlled legislature moved the primary date in the state earlier than normal this year, to satisfy the Democratic National Committee. The Democrats’ decision to change the date pushed the Republicans into non-compliance with the Republican National Committee.

Michigan Republicans created a system of split primaries to avoid being penalized by the RNC. Voters cast their ballots both on Tuesday and March 2.

The Michigan GOP will host a party convention in Detroit on Saturday. The winner could get up to 39 delegates, but they’ll be divided by district. There are thirteen districts in total, with three delegates each.

Former President Trump (a Republican candidate for president) thanks supporters at an election night party in Columbia, South Carolina, on February 24, 2024.

Voters have only two choices in this contest: Trump or Haley.

Michigan has 55 delegates who have pledged their support.

Trump said he had previously won the Iowa Caucuses and left New Hampshire with an impressive victory. He also swept Nevada and the U.S. Virgin Islands caucuses. And then he won South Carolina, with a much bigger win than he expected.

In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, he said: “I feel very honored.” This was after a victory in South Carolina on Saturday. “We are setting records in all states.”

Nikki Haley, Republican presidential candidate, speaks at her election night party in Charleston, South Carolina, on February 24, 2024.

Trump looked forward to Michigan on Saturday and predicted victory, because “the autoworkers will be with us 100 percent because this nation sold them out.”

Haley, who lost another race — this time to her native South Carolina — promised to remain in the race.

Michigan’s government has been taken over by Democrats.

From 1972 to 1988, Michigan was a Republican stronghold. Michigan was part of a “blue wall”, which backed Democratic nominees for six consecutive presidential elections between 1972 and 2012.

Trump’s narrow victory over Hillary Clinton in the White House was due to his reversal of the state.

In the 2020 elections, President Biden won Michigan by almost three points. He brought Michigan back to the Democrats’ side and prevented Trump from re-election.
