Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.) announced his candidacy for the Democratic presidential nomination on Thursday, challenging President Joe Biden for the nomination. Phillips believes Biden cannot win the 2024 general election against former President Donald Trump, and is running for president to address the high cost of living and wages not keeping up with inflation. He is a distillery heir and one of Congress' wealthiest members, and it remains to be seen if he can gain enough support to challenge Biden for the nomination.

The Biden administration has made adjustments to the entertainment portion of Wednesday's state dinner for Australia's Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, replacing the B-52s performance with a string quartet.

President Joe Biden will not appear on the New Hampshire primary ballot in 2024, marking the first time a sitting president has not done so. This is due to the Delegate Selection Rules for the 2024 Democratic National Convention, which were set in motion earlier this year and are intended to ensure a level playing field for all candidates. Biden's campaign manager wrote a letter to New Hampshire Democrats explaining the decision, and it will be interesting to see how the Democratic Party and its voters respond.
