Dean Phillips, the U.S. representative from Minnesota's 3rd congressional district, announced his campaign for the 2024 United States presidential election on October 27, 2023. He was one of four major candidates who have mounted primary challenges to incumbent President Joe Biden; environmental lawyer and anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. withdrew in October 2023 to run as an independent, while author Marianne Williamson suspended her campaign in February 2024 before unsuspending again later that month. The campaign was considered to be a "long-shot" run by Roll Call and NBC News.[8][9] On March 6, 2024, Phillips suspended his campaign following Super Tuesday.[10] Phillips is the second-placed person in terms of awarded delegates in the 2024 Democratic Party presidential primaries.[11] Four delegates to the 2024 Democratic National Convention in Chicago were awarded to Phillips. Delegates were gained from Ohio's 2nd, 6th, and 14th congressional districts and Logan County, Nebraska.[12]
