Democratic lawmaker calls for 'well-positioned' primary challenger to Biden
ABC News ^ | August 6, 2023 | Fritz Farrow

Minnesota Democratic Rep. Dean Phillips said Sunday he was undecided on whether he'd challenge President Joe Biden for their party's nomination, though he defended his push for others to do so in an appearance on CBS' "Face the Nation."

"I have not decided yet," Phillips said of a potential 2024 bid, which would likely mark an uphill battle given Phillips' relative lack of recognition on the national stage and Biden's institutional support among Democrats.

Phillips said on CBS that he is calling for a rigorous primary contest in 2024 because he argues it's what Democrats want, citing last week's New York Times/Siena College poll that found more Democrats (50%) felt the party should nominate someone other than Biden compared to those who backed the president (45%).

Yeah, their problem is it’s not a matter if Biden has skeletons in his closet, just how bright the flashlight that discovers them will be.

If he does decide to run then he should debate RFK Jr.
That would be fun to watch.

Those that have any common sense do. But those that are involved in the corruption with Joe have no choice but to try to cover for him and themselves.

Maybe they’ll get smart and nominate an intelligent and relatively uncompromised candidate. Is there a Dem like that?
