Biden wins Michigan primary, but faces backlash over Israel’s war on Gaza

The war in Gaza has overshadowed the US presidential primaries in the battleground state of Michigan. Donald Trump defeated Nikki Haley in the Republican primary, while President Joe Biden easily won the Democratic one.
But more than 100,000 people cast a protest vote against Biden, over his support for Israel’s war on Gaza. That’s 13 percent of the total and 10 times the target set by campaigners.

Al Jazeera’s John Hendren reports from Dearborn, Michigan.
