Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.) announced he is stepping down from his leadership role as co-chairman of the Democratic Policy and Communications Committee as he considers launching a presidential campaign.
Phillips, a three-term congressman, has been hinting at a potential 2024 bid against Biden for months and has called for a competitive primary. (RELATED: Democrat Congressman Calls For Colleagues To Primary Biden)
“My convictions relative to the 2024 presidential race are incongruent with the majority of my caucus, and I felt it appropriate to step aside from elected leadership to avoid unnecessary distractions during a critical time for our country,” Phillips said in a statement.
“I celebrate Leader [Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)] for his remarkable and principled leadership and extend gratitude to my outstanding friends and colleagues for having created space and place for my perspectives,” he added. “I'll continue to abide by my convictions, place people over politics, and support our shared mission to deliver security, opportunity, and prosperity for all Americans. Onward!”
There are already two Democratic challengers to Biden in the primary: Marianne Williamson and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

I will work much harder now and I can hardly hang tight for the following week’s installment. Go to the Home tab for more detail. I highly recommend everyone to apply.. www.Payathome7.com

everyone want to run against biden. they all know biden is a corrupt briberous, influence selling pedophile who has destroyed america and they all know they can beat him.
Now if only some of them were not crazy far left extremists.
RD – are they threatening to run because they are like sharks smelling blood in the water? Oh wait, since most of them are liars oops lawyers (hard to tell the difference) that pretty well describes them. And anyone that would ‘celebrate’ ha keem should automatically be disqualified – just my opinion of course
Any Democrat is one too many
Oh Boy! Let’s have a big old Dem primary! Bring ‘em on! Televise the debates! Let’s watch while they rip each other to shreds!
