Michigan governor says not voting for Biden over Gaza war ‘supports second Trump term’

Gretchen Whitmer responds to calls by some Democrats to vote uncommitted' in Michigan's primary on Tuesday

Gretchen Whitmer, the Michigan governor, pushed back on calls to not vote for Joe Biden over his handling of the Israel-Gaza conflict, saying on Sunday that could help Trump get re-elected.

It's important not to lose sight of the fact that any vote that's not cast for Joe Biden supports a second Trump term," she said on Sunday during an interview on CNN's State of the Union. A second Trump term would be devastating. Not just on fundamental rights, not just on our democracy here at home, but also when it comes to foreign policy. This was a man who promoted a Muslim ban."
