The Israel–Hamas war protest vote movements are protest vote movements targeting the 2024 United States Democratic Party presidential primaries to protest U.S. president Joe Biden and U.S. vice president Kamala Harris's policies regarding the Israel–Hamas war. These movements are part of larger Israel–Hamas war protests in the United States. After a notable "uncommitted" vote in the US state of Michigan, activists sought to replicate the protest in other US states. While some activists under Abandon Biden argued against supporting Biden entirely during the 2024 general presidential election, others in uncommitted movements urged to use uncommitted votes during the presidential primary to pressure Biden to change his policies before the presidential election. Both groups overlap and supported each other's goals, to the point of being considered "twin" movements. On July 21, 2024, Joe Biden withdrew from the 2024 presidential election and endorsed Harris as his replacement.
