Dean Phillips Calls Out Florida Democrats for Exclusion from Primary Ballot

Rep. Dean Phillips, a Minnesota Democrat running in the primary against President Joe Biden, criticized Florida Democrats for excluding him and other challengers from the official candidate list, accusing them of disenfranchising voters. Florida Democrats voted to submit only Biden's name to the secretary of state's office, following the standard process for nominating candidates. Phillips called on Biden and others to address this act of electoral corruption, while Marianne Williamson claimed it was part of a larger effort to secure the nomination for Biden without opposition. The Phillips campaign is considering legal remedies, while the DNC offered resources that were not utilized. Phillips missed the deadline to appear on the ballot in Nevada and is focusing on New Hampshire's unsanctioned primary.
