Democrat Dean Phillips has announced his plans to challenge President Joe Biden for the 2024 Demcratic Party nomination. While his quest is a long shot, he highlights some big concerns.
Dean Phillips, the Minnesota congressman challenging Joe Biden for the Democratic Party's nomination, is a grandson of the late Abigail Van Buren, the advice columnist known as 'Dear Abby.' How appropriate that Phillips’ run is sending Democrats some valuable guidance: 1. Joe Biden is too old and could lose to Donald Trump. 2. The much-lauded cohesion in the Democrat Party is not always a plus. 3. Competition, as Joe Biden likes to say, is a good thing.
The young Democratic congressman is in good company. A Wall Street Journal poll at the end of August found 73% of registered voters agreed that Biden 'is too old to run for president.' Meanwhile, the race between Biden and Trump is currently a toss-up. Phillips is certainly not the only Democrat worried about the 2024 election. But he is one of the few to push for a primary contest, which he has done for months, to no avail.
Phillips’ candidacy will likely become one of those obscure political footnotes that may someday determine a Trivia contest unless… he encourages others to join as well. For sure, other contenders are champing at the bit. California Gov. Gavin Newsom traveled to China last week looking presidential indeed, striding with his entourage through the Great Hall of the People to meet with President Xi.
