Democratic Rep. Dean Phillips on Wednesday suspended his long-shot campaign to seek his party's 2024 presidential nomination.

In suspending his campaign, the Minnesota congressman also endorsed fellow Democrat incumbent President Joe Biden, calling his decision a "clear" choice.

"I'm going to suspend my campaign and I will be, right now, endorsing President Biden because the choices are so clear," he said in a Minnesota radio interview on WCCO's Chad Hartman’s show, according to NBC News.
