United States President Joe Biden has renewed his commitment to see his struggling re-election campaign through, telling voters in the key battleground state of Michigan that he is the better choice, despite growing calls for him to quit the race.

“I’m the nominee,” he said on Friday. “I’m not going anywhere.”

“To put it in perspective, in the primary, Biden got about 600,000 votes in Michigan, easily winning over any other rivals, but about 100,000 voters voted ‘uncommitted’. Those were largely Arab and Muslim Americans and young Americans who are upset about his handling of the war in Gaza,” he said.

    They just blew up another area they deemed “safe” for Palestinians. This election cycle is really making me want to demand better candidates instead. With so much at stake, too.

      Which they’ve done that so many times we (at least I) have lost count. It’s insanity honestly that we can’t get a message to our representatives even via actions protected by 1a

        I know a way we can get a message to our representatives. But it requires us gathering.
