If the big-money elites prefer Dean Phillips over Joe Biden, you know the Democrat party is in trouble.

Politico reported on Friday morning that Minnesota Congressman Dean Phillips (MN-3) is being urged to challenge President Biden in the Democrat primary. They also reported he will be soon meeting with donors in New York about the prospect of running.

Many falsely believe that Phillips is a moderate. According to VoteView.com, the former-liquor salesman votes with his party 96% of the time. In other words, he is just as far-left as your average Democrat in 2023.

At 54, he is younger and likely more functional than the Democrat Party’s 80 year old leader, but is unlikely to make a dent in the primary stage. Phillips is largely unknown and is only in his third term in congress.

Plus, he is boring! Democrats are better off going with a candidate like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. than they are with Phillips.

Then again, many conservatives in the western Twin Cities metro wouldn’t complain if he gave up his seat to run for President. Maybe we should encourage him to run after all?
