presidential primary, along with the surprisingly strong support for Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s independent run for president, has experts wondering how that plays out for PresidentDemocratic voters to write in “uncommitted” on their primary ballots as a means to protest Biden’s handling of the war in Gaza.
“The protest vote within the Democratic Party in Pennsylvania isn’t just limited to the left wing,” he said. “It would not surprise me to see moderate Democrats or center-left independent voters who are unhappy with Biden to also do an uncommitted ballot write-in to express their dissatisfaction.” Borick said this choice was definitely a pitch toward the progressive Left. “She has been a past supporter of Biden, raised funds for the Democrats, and he chose someone who will be appealing to a chunk of voters who are either disenchanted or angry with Biden.”/Morning Consult survey of 803 registered Pennsylvania voters showed that if Kennedy is in the mix in Pennsylvania, former President Donald Trump leaps ahead of Biden with a nearly double-digit lead.
He said for those voters who are dissatisfied enough that they abandon their strong, historically Democratic voting patterns, it doesn’t take a lot to change an election in a tight race. Likewise, many analysts believe that progressive Ralph Nader’s presence on the ballot in Florida in 2000 cost Al Gore the election to George W. Bush.
