No Voters Show Up at Dean Phillips' New Hampshire Campaign Event

Phillips, a Long-Shot Democratic Presidential Hopeful, Does Not Rule Out Third-Party Run

  • Democratic presidential hopeful Dean Phillips held a campaign event in New Hampshire where no voters showed up, leading him to quip: 'Sometimes, if you build it, they don’t come.'
  • Phillips, a Minnesota congressman, is seen as a long-shot candidate in his bid to deny President Joe Biden the Democratic presidential nomination.
  • The event, held outside a hotel in freezing temperatures, was part of Phillips' 'Government Repair Truck Coffee Conversations' campaign.
  • Despite the lack of turnout, Phillips' campaign insists that the cold weather was the main factor deterring voters from attending the outdoor event.
  • Phillips has not ruled out a third-party run for president and continues to insist that Biden, at 81, is too old to mount a meaningful fight against likely Republican nominee Donald Trump.
