Haisten Willis is a White House reporter for the Washington Examiner. Before moving to D.C., Haisten was an Atlanta-based freelance journalist, writing for the Washington Post, Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and U.S. News & World Report, among other outlets.
The three-term Minnesota congressman launched a late, long-shot bid for the 2024 Democratic presidential nomination on Friday, saying the move is about ushering in a new generation of leadership and a candidate who can best Donald Trump.“My friends, it is time for a change, and I am ready to lead our great nation to a secure and a more prosperous future," Phillips said upon making the announcement.
There are a lot of moving parts in the situation, and it's unclear what impact, if any, Phillips's late entry into the race will have on Biden. Still, New Hampshire-based Republican strategist David Carney thinks Phillips could leave an impression. Biden's new challenger may hope to have the same impact that Eugene McCarthy had in 1968. The Minnesota senator drew a surprising 42% in that year's New Hampshire primary, helping to convince Lyndon Baines Johnson not to seek reelection.When asked about Phillips, the Biden campaign sent a statement that did not reference his new challenger.
If the run alienates him from his fellow Democrats, Phillips seems to think they are the ones with a problem. He tells @costareports and @CBSMornings he won't "be quiet" as polling numbers "are so clearly saying that we’re going to be facing an emergency next November.” pic.twitter.com/7tP0QJaKgJ
