"Dean Phillips Ends 2024 Presidential Bid, Endorses Biden"

Minnesota Rep. Dean Phillips has ended his long-shot Democratic presidential primary challenge to President Joe Biden, throwing his support behind Biden. Phillips, who entered the race over concerns about Biden's electability, struggled to gain traction and funding for his campaign. Despite initially praising Biden, Phillips grew increasingly critical of him and accused the Democratic Party of suppressing his candidacy in some states. His exit leaves author Marianne Williamson as the last remaining notable primary challenger to Biden.
