The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), the largest leftist political organization in the country, endorsed the push for “uncommitted” votes in Super Tuesday primaries Sunday.
The “uncommitted” votes are meant to serve as protest against the president’s response to the Israel-Hamas war. The votes express support for a party, but not for any candidate on the ballot.
The endorsement comes after more than 100,000 Michigan voters backed the “uncommitted” line in the state’s primary as Biden faces rising pressure from Democrats to back a permanent cease-fire in the conflict.
“Until this administration ends its support for Israel’s genocide in Gaza and delivers a permanent, lasting ceasefire, Joe Biden will bear the responsibility for another Trump presidency,” the DSA wrote Sunday in a statement on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.
“Biden is on track to lose the election to Trump unless he chooses to listen to the working class of this country and change course. Defeat is certain if he fails to do so,” the group said, citing turnout for the “uncommitted” vote push in Michigan.
