Minnesota Rep. Dean Phillips said Sunday that he's"well positioned" to become president, but hasn't decided whether he will challenge President Joe Biden for the Democratic nomination, calling on other party members to join the race.
“If we don’t heed that call, shame on us, and the consequences, I believe, are going to be disastrous,” Phillips said. “So my call is to those who are well positioned, well prepared, a good character and competency — they know who they are — to jump in because Democrats and the country need competition. It makes everything better.”
As some polls indicate that nearly half of the nation is split between Biden, or reelecting former President Donald Trump, 64% of Democratic voters say they would prefer someone other than the incumbent, according to a recent New York Times/Siena College poll.
