Democratic Presidential Challenger Goes Into Full Attack Mode Against Biden
Democratic Representative Dean Phillips of Minnesota who announced he’s running for President last week took the gloves off against Biden in a recent interview with CNN.
Phillips told a CNN reporter Biden’s “down 9 points in the ABC poll nationally. He’s down in 5 of 6 battleground states. His approval numbers are almost at historic lows”
He continued “He’s poised to lose the next election to Donald Trump.”
Phillips concluded his interview by calling out the “Political Industrial Class” behind the scenes are whispering that Biden is not fit to be president.
He then shared “50% of Democrats, even more, want a different nominee. 83% of Democrats under 30 want a different nominee.”

Rep. Dean Phillips (D) launches primary challenge against President Biden, claiming that Biden is poised to lose the 2024 election to Donald Trump.
“He’s down 9 points in the ABC poll nationally. He’s down in 5 of 6 battleground states. His approval numbers are almost at historic lows… He’s poised to lose the next election to Donald Trump…
50% of Democrats, even more, want a different nominee. 83% of Democrats under 30 want a different nominee…
He beat Trump by about 40,000 votes in 2020. Anybody who can make the case to me that he’s in a better position now than he was then, then we’re living in different worlds.”
During the interview, Phillips accuses the political-industrial complex and the DNC of disregarding the will of Democrat voters and effectively determining election outcomes in the United States.
In response of Phillips announcement top Democrats have run to condemn anyone running against Biden.
Per CNN:
Now, leading Democrats tell CNN they have partly themselves to blame for Biden’s soft support — that months of airing out “what if” alternatives to him and Vice President Kamala Harris only served to undercut candidates who were never actually close to being replaced.
“In uncertain times — globally, on the economy — when you see the former president, with all of the crises, with a House that’s so dysfunctional, I think people naturally have a little bit of nervousness,” Democratic Gov. Tim Walz said in an interview two days before Phillips, a fellow Minnesotan, launched his presidential campaign. “Democrats by nature are a little bit skittish. They get themselves worried. They work themselves up. They talk in their groups, amongst one another — just stop it.”
A few minutes earlier, Walz had been onstage in Washington at a Center for American Progress event, chiding a crowd of engaged but worried Democrats, “Everybody who says, ‘I wish he was younger.’ I wish I was skinnier! [Florida Gov. Ron] DeSantis wishes he was more likable! It’s not going to happen. … There’s a responsibility for us not to buy into that.”
Or as Pennsylvania Rep. Brendan Boyle told CNN more bluntly, “People should shut the hell up.”
“I deal in the real world,” said the Philadelphia-area Democrat, who has been proudly supporting Biden for years. “He is going to be the nominee, regardless of whether people think they can construct on paper a more attractive nominee or not.”
