Dean Phillips Calls on President Biden to Pass the Torch<\/h2>\n<p>During an appearance on NBC&#8217;s Meet\u2064 the \u2062Press, Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.) made a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/metoo-tweets-from-andrew-cuomo-that-aged-horribly\/\" title=\"#MeToo Tweets From Andrew Cuomo That Aged Horribly\">bold statement<\/a>, declaring that \u200dthe\u2062 majority of Americans are\u2063 ready to &#8220;turn the page&#8221; and \u2062urging President Joe Biden not to seek reelection. Phillips \u200cemphasized that he was \u200cnot\u200b criticizing President Biden, \u200bbut\u200c rather representing the\u200d sentiments of the country.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;The call to action is to ask the president to pass\u200c the\u200c torch,&#8221; he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/meet-the-press\/video\/full-phillips-majority-of-the-country-would-like-to-see-joe-biden-pass-the-torch-190732869957\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a> \u200dSunday, highlighting President\u200b Biden&#8217;s &#8220;extraordinary \u2064legacy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Phillips stressed that he\u200d hears from ordinary\u200d Americans every day \u2063and that their desire for \u200bchange\u200d is palpable. \u2064He pointed to\u200d recent polling\u2062 that shows President Biden&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/democrat-lawmaker-says-majority-of-americans-want-joe-biden-to-skip-2024-reelection\/\" title=\"Democrat lawmaker claims most Americans want Biden to skip 2024 reelection.\">approval ratings dropping<\/a> in key \u200bswing\u2063 states, with a significant percentage of Democrats expressing a\u2062 preference\u200d for a\u200c new presidential candidate in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>As of Monday, President Biden&#8217;s approval rating <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realclearpolitics.com\/epolls\/other\/president-biden-job-approval-7320.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">average<\/a> stood at 41.1\u2063 percent \u2063approval \u2064versus 54.2\u200b percent disapproval.<\/p>\n<p>While there has been speculation that \u200dRep. Phillips may be interested \u200bin\u200b running for the\u2064 presidency \u2063himself, he has not made a definitive commitment. However, he believes there is a strong bench of potential candidates, particularly Democratic governors from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/update-corrupted-software-that-stole-6000-votes-from-trump-in-michigan-county-shut-down-for-two-hours-in-red-counties-in-georgia-on-election-day\/\" title=\"Update: Corrupted Software that Stole 6,000 Votes From Trump in Michigan County -- Shut Down for TWO HOURS in Red Counties in Georgia on Election Day\">swing states<\/a>, who \u200dcould secure the Oval Office.<\/p>\n<h2>Swing State \u200cSupport<\/h2>\n<p>Rep. Phillips \u2062highlighted several Democratic governors as viable candidates, including \u2063Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Minnesota\u2064 Gov.\u200d Tim Walz, Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker. He also mentioned other potential\u200d contenders\u200d who \u200bhave considered \u200crunning but\u2063 are hesitant to \u2063join the primaries.<\/p>\n<p>According to Phillips,\u200c a moderate\u2062 governor from one \u200dof the\u2063 four <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/meet-the-republicans-trying-to-beat-tester-manchin-and-other-vulnerable-senate-democrats\/\" title=\"Introducing GOP contenders aiming to defeat Tester, Manchin, and other at-risk Senate Dems.\">crucial swing \u200dstates<\/a> would \u2064have the best chance of winning the presidency \u200cfor the\u200d Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>He acknowledged that some \u2063individuals fear \u2064the potential repercussions of openly expressing their support for alternative candidates,\u2063 criticizing the institutionalized protection of the &#8220;status\u2063 quo&#8221; \u2064in Washington.<\/p>\n<p>When asked why these conversations are often happening in\u200d private, Rep. Phillips attributed it to people&#8217;s focus on self-preservation rather than \u200dprinciple.<\/p>\n<p>He clarified that his appeal for new candidates is\u2062 not about President Biden&#8217;s age and that he does not support a third<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/evan-mcmullin-is-a-democrat-and-a-fraud\/\" title=\"Evan McMullin Is A Democrat And A Fraud\">-party bid<\/a>. Instead, he encourages\u200b anyone interested, including\u2064 Joe Manchin, Cornell West, and other governors, to run in the primary, emphasizing the importance of a fair and competitive process.<\/p>\n<h2>Opposition to Third Party \u200dBid<\/h2>\n<p>Democrats have voiced opposition to the idea\u2064 of a third-party bid, fearing \u200cthat it would\u200c split \u200cthe \u200cDemocratic vote and potentially lead \u200cto an easy\u2062 victory for\u2063 the GOP frontrunner, former President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>In Arizona, the Democratic Party attempted to prevent the independent No \u2062Labels Party from\u2064 appearing \u2062on the primary ballot, but their \u200bchallenge was rejected by a judge.<\/p>\n<p>While Sen. Joe Manchin has participated in No \u2063Labels \u200bevents and released fundraising numbers, \u200dhe has not\u200b officially announced a third-party bid for the presidency or confirmed \u2064whether he will run\u200b for reelection.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Dean Phillips&#8217;s\u200c call for new leadership and his appeal to prioritize the interests of the \u200bAmerican\u200d people over political self-interest have sparked a lively debate within the Democratic\u2062 Party.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
