CONCORD, N.H. – Rep. Dean Phillips of Minnesota is jumping into the 2024 White House race with a long-shot Democratic primary challenge against President Biden.
The campaign launch by the millionaire businessman and co-founder of a gelato company turned three-term House Democrat comes as the 80-year-old president continues to suffer from underwater approval ratings among many Americans and faces concerns over his physical and mental stamina.
Phillips filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission on Thursday to officially set up his presidential campaign, and his website www.dean24.com went live in the evening.
"I am excited to announce my candidacy for President in 2024. It’s time to put our country back together again – and use our differences to make us stronger. It’s time to repair America," Phillips said in a launch video posted on social media on Thursday evening.
And when asked in an interview with CBS News if he's running for president, the 54-year-old Phillips answered "I am. I have to." The recorded interview is scheduled to be broadcast Friday morning.
Friday morning is also when Phillips, who represents a congressional district in suburban Minneapolis, will formally declare his candidacy in New Hampshire, the state that for a century's held the first primary in the presidential nominating calendar.
Phillips, one of the wealthiest members of Congress, is scheduled to hold a campaign launch event outside the New Hampshire Statehouse in Concord. And Phillips will enter the Statehouse and file at the Secretary of State's office to place his name on the New Hampshire's presidential primary ballot.
A bus decorated with "Dean Phillips for President" was headed to New Hampshire earlier in the week, and is expected to take the candidate on a tour.
Phillips, citing the president's age, has repeatedly criticized Biden for "not passing the torch"...

Really?…Dean Phillips…Wow!…(who’s Dean Phillips?)
I felt the same way.
Rep. Dean Phillips?
Well, ain’t that just special. Bless his heart.
Sure, always room for 1 more clown in this circus
He's the safe guy they will use to get traction against Biden and allow his replacement to be moved into place without upsetting the faithful. Phillips is no threat to go further than his 15 minutes unlike RFK Jr whom the party knows it cannot control if he gets too big.
Well, he certainly couldn’t be any worse
Dean Wormer?
Whoever this Boob is, he wants to “use our differences to make us stronger”. He’s a democrat. He has been part of the plan to divide and conquer. He’s a walking oxymoron as are all democrats.

Dean may need to explain why it's unaffordable right now.
Phillips, who represents a congressional district in suburban Minneapolis, ... White flight?
The media will not cover the NH primary because the Dem candidate, most likely newsome, won't win.
Phillips is a Schill. He called Biden, a wonderful and remarkable man.
The Dems have to planning around Biden flaming out any day now. Yet the insiders’ prefered alternatives, such as Newsome or Harris, cannot participate in primaries without risking major losses that ended their runs. Newsome isn’t popular in the East (if anywhere). Harris couldn’t win a debate with Elmer Fudd.
Putting up numerous nobodies to collect small numbers of delegates each would facilitate a brokered convention, keeping the Dems’ options open in case their NKVD strategy hobbles Trump.

If Biden drops out, I expect Hakeem Jeffries to run.
Dated Dean...Married Kerry
Divorced And Back With the Old Boyfriend — Dean in ‘08.
^^^ This was a bumper sticker from years ago.
There may be hundreds of them lying around...just put a ‘24 sticker on top.
Dear Abby,
Which states should I make an early effort in?
-Dean
Iowa is out for the Dems, reports results on 3/5 (Super Tues)
SC: A Biden state. The Biden state
NV: Phillips missed the filing deadline
NH: ✓
Mich: Unions will give Biden a big advantage
The progressive, pro-Palestinian crowd has the greatest anti-Biden sentiment. They don’t have a candidate
Not Kernel West ? We gotta hype his candidacy. He ought to be good for peeling off 10% of the Pedo’s voters.
