The Minnesota congressman had garnered about 20% of the vote as of 11:15 p.m. Eastern time
Dean Phillips took the stage at his election night party after the New Hampshire primary on Tuesday.
MANCHESTER, N.H. - Democratic presidential challenger Dean Phillips lost New Hampshire's primary election on Tuesday to President Joe Biden, who wasn't on the ballot but was a write-in choice for his supporters.
The Minnesota congressman had sought a strong finish to further make his case that Biden is too weak to defeat Trump again and force a reckoning for Democrats who've been backing the president. But Biden's support in New Hampshire on Tuesday was strong enough to overcome the challenge of not being listed on the ballot, with most voters writing him in.
As votes were counted and broadcast onto television screens at Phillips' election-night party, a sparse crowd of his family members and supporters waited, nearly outnumbered at times by members of the press. The Associated Press called the race for Biden just after 8 p.m. Eastern time.
