Minnesota Congressman Dean Phillips, 54, has been vocal in his calls for a serious challenge to Biden.
Minnesota U.S. Rep. Dean Phillips will file for the New Hampshire Democratic presidential primary on Friday, challenging President Joe Biden.
He went on to say his call for a challenger was not about his own ambitions to be president, but because he doesn’t want a repeat of 2016 when Republican Donald Trump defeated Democrat Hillary Clinton. "I think the polls have shown that there are a lot of Democrats around the country that would love to see anybody else jump into this thing," said Scott Spradling, the former political director for WMUR-TV in Manchester, NH.
In October, Phillips stepped down as co-chair of the Democratic Policy and Communications Committee, explaining in a prepared statement,"My convictions relative to the 2024 presidential race are incongruent with the majority of my caucus, and I felt it appropriate to step aside from elected leadership to avoid unnecessary distractions during a critical time for our country."
