President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump both secured victories in their respective Michigan primaries despite facing challenges. Trump faces reluctance from some Republicans to support his nomination, while Biden encountered a protest movement urging Democrats to vote uncommitted over his handling of the Israel-Hamas conflict. Uncommitted votes were expected to exceed 10% statewide. Biden faced pressure from progressives, while Trump grappled with legal issues. Both candidates\' victories highlighted the divisions within their parties and raised concerns about their performance in this crucial swing state.
