Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN) dropped his long-shot bid for the 2024 Democratic nomination on Wednesday, one day after an underwhelming finish in a slate of Super Tuesday states.

Phillips’s candidacy was long framed as a referendum on Biden, who has faced calls to make way for a new generation of leaders. Yet the congressman focused squarely on his resistance to former President Donald Trump in ending his campaign. He endorsed Biden in the process.
