Dean\u200b Phillips, a Minnesota Democrat, has been an influential figure within \u200dthe party. He joined a group of lawmakers last year in urging\u200b older leaders to step down, \u200badvocating for a younger\u200c generation \u2064to take the reins in the\u200b House. This push for\u200d change resulted in the replacement of then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)\u2063 with now-House Minority Leader Hakeem\u200c Jeffries\u2064 (D-NY) after the 2022 \u2064midterm elections.<\/p>\n<p>Although \u2062Phillips initially \u2062discouraged Biden \u200dfrom running, his own views and voting record align closely with the president&#8217;s. As the co-chairman of the House Democratic Policy and Communications Committee, Phillips has supported key legislation \u2062such as Biden&#8217;s infrastructure bill, the Chips and Science Act, the Inflation Reduction Act, and a major gun reform law.<\/p>\n<p>Considered\u2064 a centrist within the Democratic Party, Phillips&#8217;s potential \u2064bid for the White\u2064 House would add another dimension\u200b to\u2063 the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/pro-trump-religious-groups-begin-turning-up-heat-on-gop-to-take-action-on-marjorie-taylor-greene\/\" title=\"Pro-Trump, Religious Groups Begin Turning Up Heat On GOP To Take Action On Marjorie Taylor Greene\">primary race<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If Phillips \u200bdecides to officially announce\u200d his candidacy, he would become the third challenger for the\u200c Democratic nomination, joining Marianne Williamson and\u200c Robert F. Kennedy \u2064Jr., son of the\u200d late Robert F. Kennedy, who was assassinated in\u2062 1968.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">Click here<\/a> to read more from The\u200d Washington Examiner.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
