Democrats are dismissing expectations that Rep. Dean Phillips will mount a primary challenge against President Joe Biden as"delusional."

DeGruyter, whose organization is coordinating with the Biden campaign to counter independent and third-party bids against the president, underscored Phillips's own admission he is “not well positioned" for a primary run. "He's self-immolating," he said."He has no campaign organization and lacks the time to stand one up. Filing deadlines to get on the state ballots are approaching or past. He lacks the national following that would give this any chance. And he's squandering his standing in Congress and political circles."

Jacobs's colleague Eric Ostermeier, a research fellow at the University of Minnesota and Smart Politics's author, contended Phillips's"stated reason," that"Biden’s age puts him at a serious deficit to both win reelection and govern effectively for another four years," is"on its face credible." "While there is no sign either of the state’s Democratic U.S. senators are looking to retire, it is unclear whether or not Gov. Tim Walz will run for a third term in 2026," he added."If he does not seek reelection, the left-wing progressive lane to the nomination would likely be clogged, but the centrist path would be much more open, and a Phillips challenge to Biden would make him much more of a household name in the state.
