In Democratic circles, there’s an increasing fear that if Joe Biden proceeds into the general election for a rematch against former President Trump, he won’t be able to bring it home for the party this time.
Concerns of this nature continue to spark speculations that Democrats will eventually get rid of Biden and elect for someone like California Gov. Gavin Newsom to take his place. Thus far, Newsom’s repeatedly stated he has no plans to seek the presidency in 2024, but he could very well change his mind.
In the meantime, Minnesota Rep. Dean Phillips is one of Biden’s primary contenders. Phillips previously stated he entered the election to stop Trump from winning a second term, to give Democrats a better option than Biden, and to usher in a generational shift in political leadership.
Over the weekend, Phillips once again declared that he doesn’t believe Biden stands a chance of defeating Trump in 2024.

On social media, the Minnesota congressman directed attention towards polls that show Biden losing to Trump in key states. In doing this, Phillips expressed that despite him previously supporting, campaigning for, and voting for Biden, the numbers clearly show he doesn’t have the support to pull off another win.
