    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    In a statement shared first with NBC News after its executive board voted on the endorsement Wednesday night, the Washington union called Biden ā€œan ally to workers over the last four years,ā€ but suggested it is not confident in his ability to defeat likely GOP nominee Donald Trump in November.

    ā€œCurrently, many voters, and UFCW 3000 executive board, feel that the best path to have the best nominee, and to defeat Trump, is to vote ā€˜uncommitted,ā€™ā€Ā the union said in the statement.

    But the move by a liberal stateā€™s largest labor union shows some parts of the Democratic base are still not fully on board with the presidentā€™s re-election yet.

    This week in Michigan, home to a large Muslim and Arab community concerned about the war in Gaza, about 13% of Democratic primary voters chose ā€œuncommittedā€ over Biden.

    The Washington union praised those who voted ā€œuncommittedā€ in Michigan and said ā€œBiden must push for a lasting ceasefire and ending US funding toward this reckless war.ā€

    Meanwhile, The Stranger, a prominent alt-weekly publication based in Seattle, also endorsed the idea of voting ā€œuncommitted,ā€ expressing disappointment in the options ofĀ  Trump and Biden, whom it referred to as the ā€œtwo genocidal geriatrics leading the polls.ā€
