Rep. Dean Phillips Launches Primary Challenge Against President Biden in 2024 Democratic Presidential Race
Democratic Rep. Dean Phillips has officially announced his bid for the Democratic nomination for president, challenging President Joe Biden. Phillips, a staunch critic of Biden's re-election bid, believes a younger leader is needed to replace the 80-year-old president. He has previously called on other candidates to challenge Biden and has stepped down from a House Democratic leadership position to avoid distractions. Phillips flipped his current congressional seat blue in 2018 and is a member of the Problem Solvers Caucus.
