The New Hampshire results indicate that Biden is barreling toward a rematch with former President Donald Trump in the general election.

“Tonight’s results confirm Donald Trump has all but locked up the GOP nomination,” said Biden-Harris 2024 Campaign Manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez in a statement, which did not mention the Democratic primary results.

Pro-Biden efforts elevated the president through a write-in campaign, spending more than six-figures on digital ads and mailers to educate voters on how to back the president.

Phillips launched his bid in October, arguing that while he respected Biden, the president was at serious risk of losing to former President Donald Trump.

Phillips, who said recently that he put $5 million of his own funds into the race, deployed an unusual strategy in New Hampshire of attacking Biden from both the left and the right.

He signed onto a “Medicare for All bill” and criticized Biden for not embracing marijuana legalization.

Phillips ran television ads in New Hampshire touting his support of universal health care and bashing Biden for shunning the state’s primary. »
