What It Would Take for Dean Phillips to Drop Out

“Dean Phillips talked to the press shortly after conceding the New Hampshire primary and pledging to continue on with his campaign. And during his remarks, he laid out a metric he would use when deciding whether to end his primary challenge against President Joe Biden,” Politico reports.

“The tipping point, he explained, would be the polls. More specifically, he would wait until he had enough national name ID to be properly tested in a head-to-head matchup against Donald Trump. If he scored worse than Joe Biden in those matchups, he would drop out. If Biden scored worse, he would expect the president to do the same.”
