Democratic Rep. Dean Phillips of Minnesota on Friday announced a long-shot 2024 primary challenge against President Biden during a campaign event in New Hampshire
Rep. Dean Phillips of Minnesota is jumping into the 2024 White House race with a long-shot Democratic primary challenge against President Biden. The campaign launch by the millionaire businessman and co-founder of a gelato company turned three-term House Democrat comes as the 80-year-old president continues to suffer from underwater approval ratings among many Americans and faces serious concerns over his physical and mental stamina.
Phillips, citing the president's age, has repeatedly criticized Biden for 'not passing the torch' to the next generation of Democratic leaders and urged that a serious primary contender challenge the president for the party's 2024 nomination. When no other Democrats considered running against Biden, Phillips began to consider himself for the mission. Earlier this month, he told MPR News that 'it’s healthy to have alternatives. I think voters are demanding it.' And in his CBS News interview, Phillips pointed to recent polling suggesting that former President Donald Trump is edging Biden in hypothetical 2024 general election matchups. 'I think President Biden has done a spectacular job for our country,' Phillips said.
Biden was also facing an uphill primary challenge from environmental lawyer and high-profile vaccine critic Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is a scion of arguably the nation’s most famous family political dynasty. But Kennedy announced at a campaign event in Philadelphia earlier this month that he would seek the White House as an independent candidate. The DNC is fully backing Biden, as the president campaigns for re-election.
