Rep. Dean Phillips is doing his party and nation a favor by challenging Joe Biden for the Democratic presidential nomination. Biden is doddering, radical, corrupt, and incompetent. He should not be on the general election ballot.
Phillips recognizes these basic realities. Rather than being driven by outsize personal ambition, he spent months urging other serious Democrats with bigger national profiles to challenge Biden. Only when nobody accepted the challenge — a winnable challenge, but one the party would harshly punish — did Phillips run himself.
But he is more moderate than his voting record suggests. As a member of the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus, he talks with, listens to, and tries to find common ground with Republicans, particularly on low-profile issues. The Lugar Center-McCourt School of Public Policy at Georgetown University lists him as the 13th most “bipartisan” member of the 435-member House.
