The 2024 Michigan Democratic presidential primary was held on February 27, 2024, as part of the Democratic Party primaries for the 2024 presidential election. 140 delegates to the Democratic National Convention will be allocated to presidential candidates.[1] The contest took place concurrently with its Republican counterpart.
Despite Biden winning in a landslide, he faced a challenge from “uncommitted” in an otherwise generally uncontested primary season.[2] It was the first entity to win delegates outside of Biden that primary season, and won over 100,000 votes.[3] The campaign's performance was attributed to Arab, Muslim, young and progressive voters protesting Biden over his handling of the Israel–Hamas war.[4] The uncommitted vote in Michigan inspired similar protest votes in other states, eventually becoming a national movement.[5]
