WASHINGTON — House Democrats say they are simply baffled by their colleague Rep. Dean Phillips’ decision Friday to launch a long-shot primary challenge against President Joe Biden. A moderate Minnesota Democrat, Phillips has been a beloved member of the Democratic Caucus and was seen as a rising star on Capitol Hill. Less than a year ago, his colleagues elected him to the leadership team as one of the co-chairs of House Democrats’ policy and communications operation.
“Like setting the world record for most basketballs spun at the same time or winning the most WNBA championships . And sometimes…they make political side shows for themselves. But that’s for another email.” Elected in the anti-Trump wave that swept House Democrats back into power in 2018, Phillips has pushed for civility and bipartisanship in politics. But he also has been one of the loudest voices demanding generational change in a Democratic Party run by septuagenarians and octogenarians.
