The Minnesota congressman running against Joe Biden for the Democratic presidential nomination has failed to make it on the March 5 primary ballot in Tennessee, the Tennessee Journal reports. Dean Phillips did not file with the Tennessee Democratic Party before its deadline, according to State Election Coordinator Mark Goins. Phillips also did not collect the 2,500 valid voter signatures needed to bypass a decision by the party chair as to who should be automatically included on the primary ballot. Eight Republicans will be listed on the GOP ballot: Ryan Binkley, Chris Christie, Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley, Asa Hutchinson, Vivek Ramaswamy, David Stuckenberg and Donald Trump.
