Will Super Tuesday end in a 2020 rematch between Biden and Trump?

Voters in Michigan handed decisive victories to President Biden and former President Trump last week, increasing the odds of a 2020 rematch as the candidates look to solidify their frontrunner positions on Super Tuesday.

The Associated Press called Michigan for Biden and Trump shortly after polls closed last Tuesday, leaving both candidates undefeated in their bid to once again represent their respective parties in 2024's presidential election.

Biden's victory in the state came despite a late push among Arab Americans to "abandon" their support for the president over his continued support of Israel in the War in Gaza.

A growing movement called on voters to cast an "uncommitted" ballot instead of continuing what has typically been overwhelming support for the president.

The movement picked up the support of Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., who announced her public opposition to supporting the president ahead of her home state's primary.

"I was proud today to walk in and pull a Democratic ballot and vote uncommitted. We must protect our democracy. We must make sure that our government is about us, about the people," Tlaib said in a video shared by Listen To Michigan, a group supportive of the uprising against Biden.
