President Biden won the primary in a landslide. "Uncommitted" won three delegates and received 36% of the vote in the city of St. Louis.[4] A number of groups in the St. Louis area directly campaigned for Missouri Democrats to cast “uncommitted” ballots in protest of Biden’s reaction to Israel’s military invasion of Gaza.[5] Dean Phillips tied with Biden in Clark County.[6]
Administration
