US President Joe Biden and Republican frontrunner Donald Trump both cruised to victory in their party’s Michigan primary elections Tuesday, with results for the two candidates indicating discontent among Democrats and Republicans for the likely nominees.
Detractors had urged Democrats to either sit out the contest or cast “uncommitted” ballots in protest over Biden’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war.
