TL;DR Summary

The Wisconsin Supreme Court has ordered state elections officials to include U.S. Rep Dean Phillips on the state’s Democratic presidential primary ballot, ruling that Democrats on a bipartisan presidential selection committee should have at least discussed his inclusion. This means President Joe Biden will have Phillips as a challenger on the April 2 ballot. Phillips, who represents neighboring Minnesota in Congress, filed a lawsuit after being left off the ballot, arguing that he met the test in Wisconsin law for gaining ballot access. The court found that the committee failed to properly exercise any discretion and ordered Phillips to be included on the ballot.
