LANSING, Mich.—As expected, incumbent President Joe Biden scored a decisive victory in Michigan’s Feb. 27 Democratic presidential primary.

His win, however, came amid a boycott campaign that asked people to vote “uncommitted” to express their discontent over the Biden administration’s handling of the Israel-Hamas conflict. With half of the votes counted, “uncommitted” had garnered around 13 percent of the vote, much higher than the goal set by organizers.
