"Uncommitted", along with other voting options that do not express support for any candidate, were utilized by the campaign. The movement started in February, when the "Listen to Michigan" campaign attracted a large amount of support from Arab-Americans and progressives against President Joe Biden. The success in Michigan inspired similar campaigns in other states, with a national umbrella organization being founded in March. The campaign ultimately received over 700,000 votes and 37 delegates.
The movement had several interactions with Vice President Kamala Harris's campaign, pushing for an arms embargo. At the Democratic National Convention, it advocated for a Palestinian-American to be allowed to speak, though this was denied. After unsuccessful attempts to pressure or meet with Harris, the group declined to endorse her, though came out against Republican candidate Donald Trump. The movement's role in the election is disputed; some Democrats allege that its strategy contributed to Trump's win, while others blame Harris for her lack of outreach to pro-Palestinian voters.
