CNN —Michigan provided the first test of President Joe Biden’s coalition in swing states Tuesday night.
In a campaign that will likely come down to a handful of swing states, Biden can’t afford to make the mistakes that Hillary Clinton made in 2016, when small numbers of votes cost her the presidency.
Some of the uncommitted voters are sending a message to President Biden rather than going all in and threatening to follow through on Election Day by voting against Biden.
Voting uncommitted in February 2024 is not the same as voting for Donald Trump in November 2024.
In 2024, the cost of President Biden failing to make a compelling case to his progressive coalition will be a second term for Donald Trump.
