Only Elected Challenger to Biden Laughs off Losses in Primaries

Tuesday, 05 March 2024 10:03 PM EST

Minnesota Rep. Dean Phillips, the only elected Democrat to challenge President Joe Biden in their party’s primary, isn’t coming close to winning anywhere on Tuesday — but he’s trying not to let it get him down.

“Congratulations to Joe Biden, Uncommitted, Marianne Williamson, and Nikki Haley for demonstrating more appeal to Democratic Party loyalists than me,” Phillips posted on X, formerly Twitter.

Phillips has remained in the race despite providing only token opposition to Biden and no real chance of challenging him nationally. His home state of Minnesota is among those holding a Democrat primary on Super Tuesday — he didn't win there, either.

The race was called for Biden, who was holding 73.2% of the vote with 21% reporting.
