Minnesota Democrat Dean Phillips’s 2024 presidential campaign is causing a ruckus with a new ad that takes aim at President Joe Biden and the Democratic Party for snubbing the iconic first-in-the-nation primary in New Hampshire. The ad, which comes with a hefty price tag of $250,000, is set to run in the Granite State until December 26th. It’s like throwing a big, fat snowball in the face of old Joe and his cronies.

The ad doesn’t beat around the bush. It slams Biden for muscling New Hampshire out of its long-standing primary spot, which has been a tradition for a whopping 100 years. The ad paints Biden as the big bad wolf trying to huff and puff New Hampshire out of its prime position.
Congressman Dean Phillips, who’s probably as likely to win the presidency as a moose is to sprout wings and fly, is banking on the Granite State to give him a fighting chance. The ad gushes about how Phillips is shaking hands with the good folks of New Hampshire in all the classic spots: diners, street corners, and taverns. It’s like a scene straight out of a Norman Rockwell painting, except add in some political theatrics and empty promises.
But wait, there’s more! The ad swipes at Biden for dissing New Hampshire and empowers Phillips to swoop in and take the spotlight. It’s like a dramatic showdown in a Wild West movie, with Phillips riding in on a horse, determined to right the wrongs of the Biden administration.
Meanwhile, the New Hampshire Democrats are all up in arms over Biden’s snub, and they’re trying to stir up some good old-fashioned rebellion with a write-in campaign for old Joe. But not everyone’s buying it. Some Democrats are side-eyeing Biden and the DNC, warning that the whole fiasco could blow up in their faces like a rogue firecracker. Former state House Speaker Steve Shurtleff is even throwing shade, suggesting that the whole mess could leave Biden looking like a deer caught in the headlights after the primary.
