In a statement shared first with NBC News after its executive board voted on the endorsement Wednesday night, the Washington union called Biden āan 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.
āCurrently, many voters, and UFCW 3000 executive board, feel that the best path to have the best nominee, and to defeat Trump, is to vote āuncommitted,āāĀ the union said in the statement.
But the move by a liberal stateās largest labor union shows some parts of the Democratic base are still not fully on board with the presidentās 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 āuncommittedā over Biden.
The Washington union praised those who voted āuncommittedā in Michigan and said āBiden 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 āuncommitted,ā expressing disappointment in the options ofĀ Trump and Biden, whom it referred to as the ātwo genocidal geriatrics leading the polls.ā
