Field of bad dreams: Biden rival makes quip after no one turns up to 2024 event

Sometimes, if you build it, they don't come,' says Dean Phillips after he ends up pouring coffee for staffers only in New Hampshire

Contemplating a New Hampshire campaign event to which not one voter showed up, the Minnesota congressman and Democratic presidential hopeful Dean Phillips told reporters on Tuesday: Sometimes, if you build it, they don't come."

He was alluding to a famous line from Field of Dreams, a 1989 film in which an Iowa farmer played by Kevin Costner builds a baseball field, thereby attracting the ghosts of famous players.
