Dean Phillips is very mad and getting feisty on X after being wiped out on Super Tuesday

• Dean Phillips got wiped out on Super Tuesday.
• The Minnesota congressman lost his home state to President Joe Biden by a landslide.

Rep. Dean Phillips of Minnesota didn't seem too happy after getting wiped out on Super Tuesday.

"Congratulations to Joe Biden, Uncommitted, Marianne Williamson, and Nikki Haley for demonstrating more appeal to Democratic Party loyalists than me," Phillips wrote on X on Tuesday after losing his home state to President Joe Biden by a landslide.

"And, Jason Palmer," Phillips wrote in a subsequent post, referencing the sole presidential candidate who won the Democratic primary in American Samoa.

As the numbers started to roll in on Tuesday night, Phillips started getting into it with Gov. Gavin Newsom of California.

"Appreciate the self awareness. Tonight's the night you should drop out and support our nominee Joe Biden," Newsom wrote in response to Phillips' X post.

Newsom's suggestion earned a terse response from Phillips: "From a self-awareness professional."

At press time, Phillips had yet to pick up a single delegate.

Philips announced his presidential bid in October. The Minnesota congressman said at the time that he could not remain "quiet in the face of numbers that are so clearly saying we're going to be facing an emergency next November."

"I respect Joe Biden. He should have passed the torch. This was not a mission for me. But someone had to do this," Phillips said last month after Biden won more than 96% of the vote in the South Carolina primary.

On Tuesday, Phillips told CNN that he would be "assessing tonight's results and all available data over the coming days" before deciding whether to persevere with his candidacy.

Phillips said in November that he would drop out and "endorse the likely nominee — Biden or otherwise" if his "campaign is not viable" after Super Tuesday.

Representatives for Phillips did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider sent outside regular business hours.
