By Alison Main and Arit John | CNN2020 Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang endorsed US Rep. Dean Phillips’ bid for president while campaigning with the Minnesota Democrat here Thursday. Phillips has adopted policies supported by Yang, who unsuccessfully sought the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020 and the New York City mayorship the following year. The New Hampshire Democratic primary takes place Tuesday, but the national party has said that no delegates will be awarded based on the primary as the contest is noncompliant with the Democratic National Committee’s revamped nominating calendar. A CNN poll released earlier this month found that 69% of likely New Hampshire Democratic primary voters planned to write in Biden’s name, and just 7% said they planned to vote for Phillips. Phillips’ campaign has been laser-focused on the Granite State, where he is hoping to kickstart his bid with Biden absent from the ballot there.
