Dean Phillips Snubs Democratic \u200cStars, Calls for New Presidential Candidates<\/h2>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN) snubbed one of the\u2064 Democrats\u2019 top political stars during an interview over the weekend when asked who he would like to see jump into the\u200c 2024 presidential race to challenge President Joe Biden.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Phillips made the remarks during\u200d an interview on Sunday with Chuck Todd on NBC News\u2019 \u201cMeet The Press.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Phillips\u200b once again reiterated that\u2064 he \u2062does not want to run for\u200c president right now, rather he is going around on cable \u200dnews channels\u200b trying to get other candidates to \u2062get\u200d into the race because he fears that Biden is too weak to win.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m representing what I believe \u200dto \u200dbe the majority of the \u200dcountry that wants to turn the page. \u2064Tired of the meanness and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bidens-covid-19-flip-flops-a-timeline\/\" title=\"Biden\u2019s COVID-19 Flip-Flops: A Timeline\">fear-mongering<\/a> of Donald Trump,\u201d he said. \u201cI would like to see\u2062 Joe Biden, a wonderful and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/legendary-florida-state-football-coach-bobby-bowden-dies-receives-praise-over-how-he-lived-life\/\" title=\"Legendary Florida State Football Coach Bobby Bowden Dies; Receives Praise Over How He Lived Life\">remarkable man<\/a>, pass the torch, \u2063cement this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/michael-oren-to-newsmax-its-always-premature-to-eulogize-benjamin-netanyahu-politically\/\" title=\"Michael Oren to Newsmax: 'It's Always Premature to Eulogize Benjamin Netanyahu Politically'\">extraordinary legacy<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI \u200cdo believe the \u200cmajority wants to move on,\u201d Phillips said when asked if he wants Biden to\u2063 run again \u2062for president. \u201cThe news was that \u200bI was meeting with donors. The fact is, I listen to normal Americans every day, and my own feelings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When asked who he wanted to see get in the race, Phillips said \u201ca\u2063 moderate \u200bgovernor\u201d from a state that Democrats will need to win in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGretchen Whitmer, you\u2019d like to see her?\u201d Todd asked. \u201cOr\u2063 is it Tim Walz, your home state governor?\u200d Tony Evers? Help me \u200cout here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou just said a few names I think\u200b would be great. Josh Shapiro,\u201d he\u2062 said. \u201cThere are a number of people. J.B. Pritzker. Some people\u200b have asked me that I not\u200d use their\u200c names because of this\u200b institutional \u2062fear that it might impact you down \u2064the road.\u200c This is the time to meet the moment. And I\u2019m doing something that \u2013 I know\u200b it\u2019s unpopular with Democrats. But I\u2019m <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/larry-johnson-the-cia-has-become-the-kgb\/\" title=\"Larry Johnson: The CIA Has Become the KGB\">speaking truth<\/a>. That\u2019s my job. My duty is to the people I represent. But \u2063also to represent the mass majority. And \u200bI want to say this about Democrats, it\u2019s really important. Joe \u2064Biden \u2064right now is down seven points in the four swing states that will decide \u2064the\u2064 next election. He has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/democrat-congressman-snubs-top-democrat-when-asked-who-hed-like-to-see-run-for-president\/\" title=\"Democrat Congressman declines to name preferred presidential candidate.\">historically low approval numbers<\/a>, Chuck. There are about 55% of Democrats would like to see an alternative.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Phillips did not mention California Governor Gavin\u2063 Newsom, who has been widely perceived to be jockeying himself to be at the front \u2062of the pack if for \u2062some reason \u2062Biden cannot run in 2024.<\/p>\n<h3>Watch the interview\u200d here:<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
