Rep. Dean Phillips may soon take the next step into the national spotlight after it was reported he will launch his Democratic primary challenge to President Joe Biden on Friday.
Phillips is considered to be a centrist Democrat. He served on House Democratic leadership until Oct. 1, when he announced he would step down from his role as co-chair of the Democratic Policy and Communications Committee.Phillips gave many indications that he may soon be a presidential candidate. In leaving his leadership position at the beginning of the month, Phillips cited his reason as no longer being aligned with the House Democratic Caucus on presidential politics.
Phillips has vocally opposed Biden's reelection decision, calling him out for"not passing the torch" and raising concerns about the president's age. At 80, he is the oldest president in U.S. history and would be 86 at the end of a second term.
"He has no campaign organization and lacks the time to stand one up. Filing deadlines to get on the state ballots are approaching or past. He lacks the national following that would give this any chance. And he's squandering his standing in Congress and political circles."
