Democratic Rep. Dean Phillips of Minnesota is leaving his position in House Democratic leadership over his party’s support of President Joe Biden’s 2024 reelection bid.
Strange. I mean it has been obvious all along that the Democratic party would support the incumbent. I would be really surprised to see another candidate come forward with the charisma and funding to be a serious contender. That candidate would most certainly not be this guy.
AOC would not be a serious contender at all. She’s way too extreme. Nobody can win without centrist support at this point, and AOC is not capable of winning that.
Not to mention the hurdle of the first woman president on top of that. Not saying I agree with that being a hurdle of course, but in reality it is.
Democrats should find some alternatives and host debates. It’s almost, but not quite, too late.
Biden is so old and so boring that even this economy probably can’t save him. What other president what have a 40% approval rating with unemployment under 4%?
Dean Phillips, a three-term representative from Minnesota’s 3rd district. He is a current member of both the Committee of Foreign Affairs and the Committee for Small Business.
He has been rumored to be running against Joe Biden in 2024. He is one of the most bipartisan members of Congress. He is also one of the wealthiest.
His Wikipedia page seems to tick all the right boxes, and being related to “Dear Abby” is not a bad thing, but I don’t know anything else about the guy.
For those complaining that he’s wealthy: yeah but it does seem to take that to get elected
Fun fact, this guy under-performed Biden in his own damn district in 2020. So clearly, with his lack of accomplishments, name recognition, and charisma, is going to out-perform Biden nationally. That's just logic.
Another fucking DINO bought out by the Republicans. Honestly he can go fuck himself and the rest of the Democrats whom think they're becoming "too radical". Fucking die mad you old senile fucks.
