Front-runner Leah Phifer drops out of crowded DFL field in 8th Congressional District

Leah Phifer left last weekend’s deadlocked 8th Congressional District DFL convention as the leader on all 10 ballots — though failing to reach the consensus required for endorsement.

On Wednesday, Phifer left the northeastern Minnesota race altogether, saying she was only ever targeting party endorsement and that she wanted no part of a “divisive primary” she said would hurt the party.
