Rep. Dean Phillips of Minnesota acknowledged the obvious as he launched a steep uphill 2024 Democratic primary challenge against President Biden. Here are five major hurdles he faces
Rep. Dean Phillips of Minnesota acknowledged the obvious as he launched a steep uphill Democratic primary challenge against President Biden. 'I’m the underdog. I’m the long-shot. I’m at a massive disadvantage,' the moderate three-term Democrat lawmaker from a suburban Minneapolis, Minnesota district noted as he spoke with reporters after formally announcing his White House campaign in New Hampshire, the state that for a century's held the first presidential primary.
Phillip's bid comes as the 80-year-old Biden continues to suffer from underwater approval ratings among many Americans. While the president is the commanding front-runner for his party’s 2024 nomination, polls indicate Biden faces mounting concerns from Democrats over his age and stamina. Those same surveys suggest that plenty of Democrats are anything but excited about the president seeking a second four-year term in the White House.
People are struggling immensely,' he stressed. 'We have passed very important policies, but it is not nearly enough.' Phillips said Biden's 'a good man. That’s not why I’m doing this. I’m doing this because I’m listening to people all around the country who say they want a change. They want a new generation. That it’s time to go to the future. . . . I’m part of a different generation that’s looking ahead.
Phillips promised to support the eventual Democratic nominee, and not back any other contender. 'I will not support any third-party entry this year – Cornell West, Robert Kennedy, a No Labels effort – anything that will undermine whoever the Democratic nominee might be I do not favor,' he added.
