Dean Phillips faces primary challenger amid speculation of Biden challenge.
Democratic Challenger Emerges for Rep. Dean Phillips in Minnesota House Race
Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MI) may face a tough road to reelection next year as he considers challenging President Joe Biden in a primary. Democratic National Committee executive member Ron Harris has announced his campaign to challenge Phillips for the Minnesota House seat that Phillips flipped in 2018.
Harris, who previously served as the chief resilience officer for the City of Minneapolis and now holds positions as a DNC executive committee member and Midwestern Caucus chairman, has built a strong career in the state’s Democratic establishment. At just 33 years old, Harris is seen as a young and effective leader with a proven track record of bringing change to his community.
Inspired by former President Barack Obama’s historic ascent to the White House, Harris is committed to ensuring strong and effective Democratic representation in Washington. His campaign aims to fight apathy and cynicism, showing that it is his generation’s time to step up and serve the country.
Phillips, who recently stepped down from his role in House Democratic leadership, has expressed concerns about Biden’s age and has called for him not to run for reelection. While Phillips aligns himself with Biden’s agenda, he believes that having alternatives and more choice is healthy for voters.
Phillips has yet to face a highly competitive Democratic primary challenger, having easily won three congressional elections as the sole serious contender in the party. However, if he decides to enter the 2024 presidential race, Harris would be the only prominent candidate vying for the suburban congressional seat, as no Republican challenger has come forward.
Both Harris’s and Phillips’s teams were contacted for comment but have not responded.
