As antiwar activists continue to use the Democratic primary process to push for a cease-fire in Gaza, last night’s vote for the third straight week showed the depth of voter discontent with their standard-bearer’s handling of the war.

Washington State was the latest target of the “uncommitted” movement after successes across the country in previous weeks. With a fifth of the votes still to be counted, tens of thousands of the state’s Democratic voters made their displeasure with President Joe Biden known. “Uncommitted” took 7.5 percent of the vote last night in Washington, or 48,619 votes, quadrupling organizers’ initial target of twelve thousand, though falling short of the higher margins similar efforts had taken in Michigan, Minnesota, and North Carolina and failing to win a delegate so far.

Even so, the vote was a substantial rebuke to an incumbent president from his own party base in a solidly blue state, at a time when he faces no serious primary challenger. The anti-Biden vote looks more dramatic when including the vote counts of his two primary contenders, both of whom have taken more aggressive pro-cease-fire positions than the president, with 12.7 percent (85,811 voters) choosing one of the alternatives. The campaign only began contacting voters nine days before the primary, and many voters — including those whom phone bankers contacted in the days leading up to the vote and who were inclined to vote “uncommitted” — had already voted by mail, starting from February 23.
