For months, Dean Phillips has been calling for a Democratic primary challenge to President Joe Biden.
The 54-year-old Minnesota congressman is finally entering the race himself, telling a Friday event outside New Hampshire's statehouse, “I am today announcing my candidacy for the presidency of the United States of America.”
In a campaign video posted online, Phillips promises to trapse through the snow to greet voters and “fix the economy," a swipe at Biden who has made job and Gross Domestic Product growth a key of a reelection bid built around the slogan “Bidenomics.” Moments before Phillips even announced, meanwhile, Minnesota Democratic Gov. Tim Walz sent a Biden reelection campaign fundraising email titled “Minnesotans love Joe Biden” and taking an indirect swipe at the congressman, writing that some of his state's residents sometimes “make political side shows for themselves.”
The state's influence on Democrats was curtailed this year by changes engineered by the DNC at Biden's behest. But Terry Shumaker, a former DNC member from New Hampshire and longtime Biden supporter, said he expects the president to easily clinch the state as a write-in option. Shumaker recalled going door to door for McCarthy in 1968, but doesn’t see Phillips gaining similar traction.
