MARY BRUCE: Frustrated and furious, members of the state's large Arab and Muslim community are urging voters in today's Democratic primary to check the "Uncommitted" box in protest. 

LEXI ZEIDAN: Biden has lost my vote. 

BRUCE: Lexi Zeidan, who supported Biden in 2020, is now helping to organize this protest vote. 

But you know where Donald Trump stands on these issues. If sitting out and not voting for Biden means that you may be helping Donald Trump get elected, is that a risk worth taking? 

ZEIDAN: I mean, that's a question that I put back on the president. You know, I didn't get us to this point, Biden did. And it might come down to us experiencing short-term pain with Trump in office for long term gain, where we have to have a Democratic party that stands actually on its values. 

BRUCE: Short term pain for long term gain. So, you're willing to sit out in November, even if it means Donald Trump wins to send Democrats a message? 

ZEIDAN: Absolutely.
