Rep. Dean Phillips, D-Minn., a moderate who has for months publicly argued that President Joe Biden should not run for reelection, announced his candidacy for president Thursday, setting up an underdog challenge for the Democratic nomination.In an interview with CBS News, Phillips — who plans to officially launch his campaign Friday in New Hampshire — argued that finding an alternative to Biden was essential because of polling showing the president at risk of losing to former President Donald Trump.“I will not sit still and not be quiet in the face of numbers that are so clearly saying that we’re going to be facing an emergency next November,” he said.Late Thursday evening, he posted his campaign announcement on X, the site formerly known as Twitter, saying, “It’s time to put our country back together again.”Phillips, a third-term congressman who represents a district that includes suburban Minneapolis, enters the race with long-shot odds.The Democratic establishment and major donor...

PHILADELPHIA — The Wild dressing room was a no-spin zone on Thursday night. After absorbing a 6-2 loss to the Flyers at Wells Fargo Arena, players didn’t mince their words about the direction their season is in danger of heading.“Obviously, it’s still early,” veteran Pat Maroon said, “but we’ve got to nip it in the butt now because we can’t let this keep trending the wrong way.”In another of a series of slow starts, the Wild fell behind 3-0 in the second period before briefly coming to life, but a key turnover opened the floodgates for a three-goal Philadelphia third.Flyers wing Bobby Brink, a rookie who played high school hockey at Minnetonka, scored his first two NHL goals and goaltender Carter Hart stopped 26 shots and the Wild head into the second of back to backs Friday in Washington having lost three of their past four games (1-2-1).Dakota Mermis and Marcus Foligno scored 85 seconds apart in the first five minutes of the third period to make it 3-2, but with the Wi...
