Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib tells fellow Democrats: reject Biden in primary

Michigan representative tells state voters to pick uncommitted' option over White House support for Israel's strikes on Gaza

The progressive US congresswoman Rashida Tlaib has called on her fellow Michigan Democrats to vote uncommitted" in the state's presidential primary election - at the expense of the party's incumbent, Joe Biden - in late February.

Appearing in a video posted to X on Saturday by Listen to Michigan, a political campaign to encourage the state's voters to vote uncommitted" in the 27 February primary, Tlaib justified her stark display of displeasure with Biden by alluding to Israel's military strikes on Gaza, which local authorities say have killed nearly 29,000 Palestinians since last October.
