The Minnesota congressman running against President Joe Biden in the Democratic primary lost his home state on Tuesday, capping off a stretch of poor showings.

Dean Phillips, who represents a wealthier suburban area outside Minneapolis, entered the Democratic race seemingly against his will and against the advice of most of his Democratic colleagues. The congressman, who first took office in 2019, first tried to recruit more prominent Democrats to challenge Biden, publicly saying the president needed to let the next generation lead the party.
