President Trump scored a massive victory against Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley in the Michigan primary.
Trump garnered well over 750,000 votes, taking 68.2% of the vote, compared to Haley’s 294,000 votes, which were 26.6%.
Biden only received 618,000 votes at 81%, and notably, over 100,000 Democratic voters marked their ballots as uncommitted, which has caused major worries within the Biden campaign.
Take a look:
Per CBS:
CBS News projects that former President Donald Trump will win the Republican primary in Michigan, while President Biden will win the Democratic primary.
ADVERTISEMENTWith 62% of the vote counted, Trump led with 67% to former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley’s 27%. Haley, fresh off her defeat in her home state of South Carolina, has vowed to stay in the race through Super Tuesday on March 5.
On the Democratic side, with 85% of the vote counted, Mr. Biden has 81% of the vote. While he did not have any challengers, there was an effort launched by Arab and Muslim Americans to vote “uncommitted” in the primary as a protest of his policy toward Israel. With 85% of the vote reported, “uncommitted” had passed the 100,000 mark with 101,050 votes, or 13%.
If “uncommitted” receives more than 15% of the vote, then delegates who are not bound to any candidate could attend the convention.
The 100K+ "uncommitted" voters in the Michigan primary is a BIG "warning signal" for Biden, says @BretBaier.
"As you get to the general election, they're gonna look at the vulnerability there in Michigan — as well as the union vote, which has trended toward Donald Trump." pic.twitter.com/fKuV7APTwA

Lee Zeldin broke it down:
President Trump has received more votes in Michigan tonight than all Democrat primary votes COMBINED. It’s possible that the ENTIRE blue wall gets painted red this November. pic.twitter.com/ab7zSPhPl4
