"Dean Phillips' 2024 Campaign: From Fundraising Success to Event Flop"

Minnesota Rep. Dean Phillips raised $1 million in outside donations in the final quarter of 2023 for his challenge to President Joe Biden, with 75% of contributions being less than $50. Despite facing opposition from the Democratic Party, Phillips' campaign sees the fundraising as a significant achievement. Phillips has focused his campaign on the New Hampshire primary, where Biden is not on the ballot, and is looking to build momentum leading up to Super Tuesday and the Democratic convention. However, his fundraising still lags behind Biden's, who has not yet announced his fourth-quarter fundraising numbers.
