Rep. Dean Phillips, D-Minn., among the first congressional Democrats to suggest President Joe Biden, 80, should not seek reelection because of his age, reportedly is planning on making a primary challenge against the president.
Phillips, a three-term moderate from Minneapolis' western suburbs, has told House colleagues he is going to challenge Biden, Politico reported Thursday, citing two people familiar with the discussions. Politico reported a third person who has talked to Phillips recently said Phillips was considering it, but when asked directly whether he was running, he said, "We'll see."
Phillips, 54, is trying to hire top Democrat operatives with presidential campaign experience, The Messenger reported Thursday, citing multiple sources familiar with conversations. Politico reported Phillips called New Hampshire Democratic Party Chair Ray Buckley last week and reached out to several potential staffers about working in New Hampshire, which is set to have the nation's first presidential primary for both parties, even though the DNC revised the schedule and placed South Carolina first. New Hampshire law requires it to be the first presidential primary.
