Donald Trump beats Nikki Haley, wins primary election in Michigan and takes new step toward nomination. Victory also for Joe Biden, even if the vote of the “Uncommitted”, the non-aligned group, exceeded the organizers’ expectations and received around 15% of the vote. “It is a huge victory for the pro-Palestinians in our country and for the anti-war movement,” said Abbas Alaeih, the spokesman for Listen to Michigan, the organization that promoted the boycott of Biden over his approach to the war in Gaza.
