"Florida Democrats Spark Controversy by Omitting Dean Phillips from Ballot, Angering Biden Challenger"

The Florida Democratic Party has excluded Rep. Dean Phillips of Minnesota, a long-shot challenger to President Biden, from the primary ballot, leaving Floridian Democrats with only one choice for a Democratic presidential candidate. Phillips accused the party of foul play and threatened legal retaliation. The party claims to have followed protocol and criticized Phillips for his comments comparing Florida to the Iranian regime. Phillips' campaign is considering a lawsuit against the Florida Democratic Party and possibly the Democratic National Committee. Phillips, who is one of the wealthiest members of Congress, announced that he will not seek reelection in 2024.
