Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, a national co-chair of Joe Biden's re-election campaign, is navigating a challenging situation ahead of the state's primary. With significant backlash over President Biden's handling of the Israel-Hamas conflict and the potential for protest votes looming, Whitmer sat down with NBC News to discuss the situation.

Listen to Michigan, a group advocating for a cease-fire in Gaza, is mobilizing voters to cast "uncommitted" ballots in the primary to protest Biden's Middle East policies. Whitmer acknowledged the possibility of a "sizable" number of protest votes and emphasized the importance of individuals making their voices heard.

Despite the potential challenges, Whitmer remains active on the campaign trail, holding numerous events in support of Biden. According to an EPIC/MRA poll, Whitmer's popularity in Michigan surpasses that of the president, highlighting her influence in the state.

Furthermore, in a separate political development, former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley achieved a notable result in South Carolina's GOP primary, outperforming Donald Trump in one congressional district. However, replicating this success in other areas may prove challenging due to demographic factors and upcoming contests' rules and delegate allocations.

As Whitmer and Haley navigate their respective political landscapes, all eyes are on tomorrow's primary in Michigan and the ongoing dynamics within the Democratic and Republican parties.
