Dean Phillips drops out of 2024 race: Biden is 'our candidate'
[NYPOST] Rep. Dean Phillips
Who?
ended his unsuccessful Democratic primary challenge to President Biden on Wednesday after disappointing finishes in the party’s 16 Super Tuesday contests.

In a statement on X, the 55-year-old Phillips (D-Minn.) said he ran for president "because Americans were demanding an alternative, and democracy demands options.

"But it is clear that alternative is not me," Phillips added. "And it is clear that Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. ‘This Is A Man ThatDoes Not Seem Demented’...
is OUR candidate and OUR opportunity to demonstrate what type of country America is and intends to be."

The Democratic politician, who would have been the first Jewish president if he had pulled off an unlikely victory, first warned his supporters in November that he would end his run if his campaign is "not viable after March 5" and that he would endorse "the likely nominee — Biden or otherwise."

"I will then campaign for them as vigorously as I’m campaigning now," Phillips wrote on X. "I’m not here for games — the goal is to maximize the odds of beating [former President Donald] Trump."

The Democrat was reminded of that promise as the results rolled in Tuesday night, with Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, Gov. Gavin can't be Bee'd Newsom
...mayor of San Franciscoas it transformed itself into Poopville, currently governor of Californiaas it transforms itself into Cinderland...
publicly challenging Phillips to drop out of the race and endorse Biden.

Phillips failed to crack double-digit support in any of the 13 Super Tuesday states where he was listed on the ballot — often finishing behind self-help author Marianne Williamson
...foemer Dem presidential candidate for 2020, campaigning on a platform of Hope and Change™, massage therapy, feng shueh, incense, Love©, and half a trillion bucks in reparations to black folk...
and protest votes of "no preference" or "uncommitted."

#1 Well, at least till the convention.
Even then it will be too late.
Players are watching for 2028 for now.
If the Left gets creamed, the Clintonistas will be back in play.
