Biden has little competition. His latest challenger, Dean Phillips, a member of the House of Representatives, has yet to win a primary against Biden in any state and Michigan is no different. Phillips could count on less than three percent of the vote. Author Marianne Williamson was still on the ballot in Michigan, but withdrew from the race on February 7. He also got few percentage of votes.

Based on twenty percent of the vote, Trump has twice as much support as Haley in Michigan: 66 percent of Republicans voted for him, compared to 28 percent for former UN ambassador Haley.

On the Republican side, Donald Trump still has a challenger in Nikki Haley, as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, among others, decided to drop out after disappointing results. Haley has yet to win a primary. Trump even won his home state of South Carolina by a large margin. Nevertheless, Haley has indicated that she wants to continue until Super Tuesday on March 5, when most US states go to the polls simultaneously for primary elections.

The Democratic primary in Michigan was closely watched by Biden’s campaign because the state has the largest concentration of Arab-American voters in the entire United States. In 2020, this community overwhelmingly voted for Biden — a major contributor to important gains for the incumbent president in that state.

American Muslim organizations and progressive groups called for blank ballots in Tuesday’s primaries to protest Biden’s unconditional support for Israel. In the end, only 16 percent of Democratic voters did so.

Michigan has a population of over 10 million and has always voted by a small majority for the Democratic Party in presidential elections since 1992. It was only in 2016 that Trump received slightly more votes than his Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton.
