Dem congressman won't rule out 2024 challenge to Biden: 'I'm concerned'
A Democratic congressman in Minnesota says that he is open to challenging President Joe Biden for his party’s presidential nomination.

"I think there are people who are more proximate, better prepared to campaign with national organizations, national name recognition, which I do not possess," Phillips added. "I'm concerned that there is no alternative."
Phillips said it is "important for democracy to have choices, to have competition, particularly in light of what I'm reading.The polling. The data. And what I'm sensing in my own intuition and I'm concerned."
In August, Phillips urged his Democrat colleagues to jump into the race and told NBC’s "Meet the Press" that he "adores" Biden but wants him to "pass the torch" to new leaders.
"I would like to see a moderate governor, hopefully from the heartland, from one of the four states that Democrats will need," he said.
He continued, "Anybody who wants to run, Joe Manchin, Cornel West... that's why we have primaries because that doesn't undermine the likelihood of returning, in this case, a Democrat to the White House. I'm actively inviting, encouraging to some degree, imploring, that people who are ready and know it's probably time to do so take the chance."...
