Rep. Dean Phillips launched his primary challenge bid against President Biden, saying polls show his party could be facing an 'emergency' in 2024 with Biden as the nominee.
Minnesota Rep. Dean Phillips is challenging President Biden in the 2024 race, saying it is time for his party to 'pass the torch' because he fears four years from now, 'might be too late.' In an interview on 'CBS Mornings' Friday, the Democratic congressman explained he 'had to' run after seeing troubling polls indicating the 80-year-old incumbent president could face an uphill battle against former President Donald Trump.
The Democrat praised Biden for doing a 'spectacular job,' but said this election was about the future, not 'the past.' 'I think it's time for a new generation. I think it's time to pass the torch,' he said. A Monmouth University poll released earlier this month found 76% of voters agreed Biden was 'too old' to serve another term, compared to just 48% who said the same about Trump.
