“Joe Biden is losing about 20 percent of the Democratic vote today, and many say it’s a sign of his weakness in November.
Phillips’ high point was in New Hampshire, where he drew nearly 20% of the Democratic primary vote.
Republicans opposed an earlier Michigan primary, which violated Republican National Committee rules limiting which states can hold contests before March 1.
After Democrats, who control the legislature and the governor’s office, moved the Michigan primary to February 27 despite the Republican opposition, the RNC and the Michigan GOP came up with the hybrid model.
However, Kristina Karamo, the election conspiracy theorist who the state party voted to oust in January, has refused to relinquish control, arguing that she was unlawfully removed.
