Minnesota Democrat Dean Phillips announces his candidacy for the White House.
Phillips, a millionaire businessman serving his third term in Congress, made waves last week when he announced his intention to challenge President Biden for the Democratic nomination. The move has drawn mixed reactions from his fellow Democrats, with some expressing concern and others questioning his motives.
Phillips’ campaign has been described as “quixotic” and a “crap” by some, with many Democrats baffled by his decision to enter the race. One House Democrat close to Phillips called the move “destructive” and “an exercise in futility,” while another called it a “political dead end.”
Despite the criticism, Phillips has defended his decision, saying he is not only running against Biden, but against the Democratic establishment, which he believes is “rigged” against the challengers. He has also dismissed suggestions that he is running for president as a way to boost his own profile or stroke his ego.
Phillips’ announcement comes as President Biden continues to struggle with his approval rating, with a recent Gallup poll showing an 11-point drop in his approval rating among Democrats. Despite this, Biden has so far faced minimal opposition for the nomination, with only a handful of other Democrats announcing their intention to run.
Phillips’ campaign has said the congressman is running for the majority of Americans who want someone different. Phillips has also said she is running because many lawmakers are not listening to Americans who want change.
Whether Phillips’ campaign will gain traction with voters remains to be seen, but his announcement has certainly shaken up the 2024 presidential race.
