GET ME REWRITE: Dean Phillips Clown Show stumbles badly in Michigan; candidate finishes behind Marianne Williamson

 
Headline:  Minneapolis Star Tribune, 2/27/2024
The third-term congressman garnered just under 3% of the vote to Biden's 81%, with nearly 42% of votes counted as of 10:30 p.m. Tuesday. The Associated Press called the race shortly after polls closed. Far more Michiganders voted "uncommitted" than for Phillips. Activists angry with Biden's handling of the war in Gaza mounted a vigorous campaign before Tuesday's election urging voters to choose uncommitted. Phillips' loss in Michigan follows defeats in South Carolina and New Hampshire. The Minnesota Democrat had his best showing in New Hampshire's presidential primary, garnering about 20% of the vote. Biden wasn't on the ballot in New Hampshire but still won the state with 64% of voters writing his name in.

Phillips received 2.7% of the vote -- 2,345 fewer votes than Marianne Williamson.
