Rep. Dean Phillips Claims President Biden Refuses to Speak to Him
In a recent appearance on Fox and Friends, Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN) discussed his impressive performance in the New Hampshire primary, where he garnered nearly 20% of the vote. However, what caught everyone’s attention was his revelation that President Joe Biden has been avoiding him ever since Phillips announced his rival candidacy.
When asked if he believed Biden would reach out to him, Phillips candidly replied, “I tried him twice, and he didn’t take my call. But I hope he does.”
This admission highlights the palpable tension between the two politicians, with Phillips launching a series of attacks against Biden in recent months. In response, Biden has chosen to largely ignore Phillips, further fueling the animosity.
During the interview, Phillips positioned himself as a positive and likable alternative to Biden, emphasizing that the country does not desire a rematch between Biden and former President Donald Trump.
“I’m sick of this political culture that only rewards dividers,” expressed the Minnesota Democrat passionately.
While Phillips did not outline a clear path forward or specify the conditions under which he would drop out of the race, he did mention his intention to “wake up” his party.
“As I’ve been saying for weeks now, I have respect for Joe Biden. However, even the recent numbers do not reflect a strong incumbent,” Phillips asserted. “As you pointed out earlier on your show today, his approval ratings are the lowest in measurable history. I’m trying to alert my party to the disaster we’re facing.”
Rep. Dean Phillips’ bold statements and determination to challenge the status quo have undoubtedly made him a force to be reckoned with in the Democratic Party.
