Long-shot Democratic presidential candidate Rep. Dean Phillips announced that he was dropping out of the race Wednesday.

The Minnesota congressman didn’t win any states in the Super Tuesday primary, losing to incumbent President Biden.

“I ran for Congress in 2018 to resist Donald Trump, I was trapped in the Capitol in 2021 because of Donald Trump, and I ran for President in 2024 to resist Donald Trump again — because Americans were demanding an alternative, and democracy demands options,” he wrote on X.

“But it is clear that alternative is not me. And it is clear that Joe Biden is OUR candidate and OUR opportunity to demonstrate what type of country America is and intends to be.”
