Republican candidate Nikki Haley faced a significant defeat in South Carolina's primaries but remains determined for Michigan, where Joe Biden is favored in the Democratic primaries amidst concerns about the "Uncommitted" vote. The state's Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib encourages this stance due to Biden's handling of the Israel-Hamas conflict, adding uncertainty even for Governor Gretchen Whitmer. On the Republican side, Michigan's primaries are unconventional due to a GOP-hybrid voting model, leading to 16 delegates awarded based on primary results, with 39 more at a state party-run convention. This convention chaos is heightened by competing chairs, Kristina Karamo and Pete Hoekstra, each holding rival conventions, adding confusion ahead of Super Tuesday on March 5th.
