to visit a family-run farm south of Minneapolis and hold a fundraiser featuring many of the state’s top Democrats, demonstrating political clout on the home turf of his new 2024 primary challenger, Rep. Dean Phillips.
Phillips, 54, is a moderate from the largely well-to-do, comfortably Democratic Minneapolis suburbs. He has been saying since last year that Biden shouldn’t be seeking reelection and should instead step aside to make way for a new generation. He points to polls showing voters, even many Democrats, concerned about the 80-year-old president’s age and electability against Donald Trump, the former president and Republican front-runner.
"There really does not seem to be as much of an opening here, as much as he might want, or think there is, or should be," he said. Another Minnesota Democrat, Rep. Angie Craig, joined Phillips in suggesting Biden shouldn’t seek reelection prior to last year’s midterms, but now says she supports the president. Dutch Creek Farms, which Biden visits Wednesday, is in Craig’s district.
