I’m a constituent living in Dean’s district. The guy comes from money, but is a solid representative. No one ever really hears about him because he’s sort of there just doing his job instead of stirring the turd. He continues to win here because he’s seemingly levelheaded and stands for strong democratic values.
I’m conflicted with him running against an incumbent in his own party, but so many people have been asking for a (younger) third option. I respect that he’s standing up and giving people that option.
It will be interesting seeing how this shakes out.
I'm confused - he's running in the primary, not the general election. There's no indication he's going to run against Biden in the general, and so far I'd assume he will get behind the nominee. Seems like a harmless way to test the waters.
The article seems to talk about the appearance of interparty conflict and how it may damage Biden going into the general, but I guess I'm just not too worried. Since we are stuck in this stupid FPTP general election system, this seems like a fair way to actually check if voters want Biden.
(And I say this willing to crawl over broken glass to vote for Biden over whoever the GOP nominee will be, especially Trump.)
Phillips plans to level several criticisms at Biden in the speech he’s set to deliver on the steps of the New Hampshire state capitol later Friday morning.
“Chaos at our border and in our cities is growing, while our commitment to countering it is receding,” the Minnesota congressman is expected to say, according to a campaign spokesperson.
Instead of touting himself (because he has no record or accomplishments), his whole campaign is going to be attacking Biden. His words will 100% be used by the GOP in the general election to try to convince independents that even Democrats think Biden is doing a terrible job. He's even explicitly planning on repeating the ridiculous Republican lie that there is "growing chaos in our cities" even as the actual facts and crime statistics show the exact opposite. His campaign is being advised by old-school Republican lying political mudslinger Steve Schmidt.
His clear intention is much more about bringing Biden down than wining himself.
He's a bad choice. He's running against an incumbent as an unknown. People will end up at they polls with no idea who he is. That's a recipe for a disaster.

I think the fight for House Speaker has shown what true interparty conflict looks like lol
