Congressman Dean Phillips said he plans to officially announce his bid for president on Friday.

In a campaign video posted online, Phillips promises to trapse through the snow to greet voters and “fix the economy," a swipe at Biden who has made job and Gross Domestic Product growth a key of a reelection bid built around the slogan “Bidenomics.” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre also noted earlier in the week Phillips’ voting record and said, “We appreciate the congressman’s almost 100% support of this president.” And, though Biden won’t officially run in New Hampshire's primary and will be requiring a write-in campaign. the president is planning to head next week to Phillips’ home state for an official event and fundraiser.
