During a recent interview, the Democratic official also stated the economy, public safety, generational changes, and lessening political division will be the hallmarks of his run.
Phillips moreover believes that under current political conditions, Biden will lose to Trump in 2024. While the congressman admits defeating Biden for the Democratic nomination constitutes a “long shot,” he still believes it can be done by everyone coming together.
A mixed bag of reactions from Democrats
While Biden’s presidential campaign isn’t letting the nation see it sweat, the same cannot be said for other Democrats.
Those with the greatest concerns believe Phillips – at the very least – has the potential to weaken Biden by taking away votes from him. It’s also worth noting with RFK Jr. now running as an Independent, there are worries that he too could siphon off support the president needs.
Thus far, apprehensive Democrats are citing Phillips’ youth and high energy levels as potential problems for Biden. In the weeks ahead, time will determine what real impact the Minnesota lawmaker has in the 2024 Democratic primary.
