Stuart Varney: Michigan's uncommitted protest vote is a threat to Biden's campaign
Varney & Co. host Stuart Varney argues Democrats' uncommitted vote could force Biden to change policy on Israel.

The discontent is not going away. Many of the states with upcoming primaries have space for write-ins.
Minnesota votes next week, and an "uncommitted" write-in campaign has already started.
The Democrats are badly split. Most support Israel, but a vocal minority does not.
BIDEN SAYS ISRAEL READY FOR RAMADAN CEASEFIRE, HAMAS NONCOMMITTAL
How long before Biden is forced to change policy to protect his campaign?
He's already tried. At an ice cream store, he blurts out hopes for a ceasefire.
As if that would influence the Michigan vote. It did not. So what's next?

Desert Israel to gain favor with the progressives back home?
Bash Netanyahu for going after Hamas terrorists? Biden is desperate.
