Today is Election Day for voters in Michigan. For Joe Biden, it could be a major wake-up call. As Caleb Ecarma [writes]( for VF, many Democrats in the state have planned a ballot protest by voting “uncommitted” to “pressure the president into relinquishing his support for Israel’s war in Gaza.” Elsewhere, unsurprisingly, there’s trouble on the Hill. Molly Jong-Fast [describes]( the challenges Mike Johnson is facing as he attempts to “lead a caucus seemingly more focused on impeachment stunts and further restricting abortion access than keeping the government open.” Plus, Eric Lutz has [the latest]( on Donald Trump shape-shifting the Republican National Committee into own likeness.
