Minnesota Representative Dean Phillips has officially ended his bid for the Democratic presidential nomination, suspending his campaign and endorsing President Joe Biden. Phillips, who faced a long-shot challenge against Biden, cited a lack of traction among Democratic primary voters as a significant factor in his decision, stating, "Clearly and convincingly, Democratic primary voters have opined that I'm not that guy," in an interview with WCCO's Chad Hartman. His campaign, which aimed to offer an alternative to Biden, struggled to gain momentum against the incumbent president. Phillips made his announcement through various media outlets, acknowledging the clear preference of Democratic voters for Biden and expressing his support for the president's reelection. This move consolidates Biden's position as the Democratic candidate for the upcoming presidential election, removing the last significant primary challenge to his nomination.
