Wildly successful in business, and the first Democrat to represent his congressional district in 60 years, it’s not surprising that Rep.’s reelection. He can read the polls and see voters saying over and over how much they wish there was another choice than is currently offered. At age 54, having enhanced the Phillips name and family legacy in Minnesota, he is ready for a bigger platform.
He’s already missed the filing deadline in Nevada, a key early state. Then it’s on to South Carolina, where he’ll get pasted, thanks in large part to Biden’s support from the Black community there. Then Phillips will get swamped in Michigan—and then his quixotic campaign is over, Kessler says. Biden has a strong legislative record that rivals his 20th century predecessors. He has stabilized the economy after the COVID pandemic with a robust growth rate and job creation, yet his poll numbers remain stubbornly low, a reflection some analysts believe is tied to the concerns about his age and ability to do the job for another four years.
