Underdog in the Democratic presidential contest, Congressman Dean Phillips of Minnesota, angrily faced the media on Monday about his deep discontent with the Democratic Party’s steadfast support of President Joe Biden.
During a news conference on Monday, Phillips, the opposition candidate in the Democratic primary in New Hampshire, voiced his displeasure with the way the media has covered the Democratic contest.
“First of all, I just hope one of you asks a question about what people really care about right now. That’s just a simple request,” When questioned about a possible challenge to Biden from a third party, Phillips responded.

He stressed in his statement that important issues including the economy, inflation, health care, Social Security, homelessness, and education should be given top priority by voters. These are the real concerns they have, not the hyperbolic ones that are frequently featured in “clickbait” media.
“I’ve said this 18,000 times,” the congressman said. “I’m only doing this to defeat Donald Trump. Nobody seems to want to do that in the Democratic Party right now, other than me, because Joe Biden can’t, is my proposition, because the data says he can’t.”
“No one in the country right now cares. In fact, most of the people in the country are going to the Trump rally right now because he’s listening to them,” he said.
“No one’s asking about this stuff. I’m just frustrated. I hope you understand why I’m getting tired of it. You’re doing your jobs, but you’re not asking the questions that Americans give a s*** about,” he said.
Not surprisingly, Phillips entered the presidential contest because he doesn’t think Biden can defeat GOP front-runner and former President Donald Trump.
Democratic members of Congress and party leaders “know that Joe Biden is one of the least well-positioned Democrats to take on this mission, As reported by The Wall Street Journal, he stated.
“Coronating incumbents, even when they are not electable, even when the country says they don’t want it — particularly in light of the consequence of a Donald Trump re-election — it’s tragic, and that’s why somebody has to do something,” the congressman said.

Phillips berated Biden with tepid compliments, claiming that the president is “a man of good character and competency who is in decline, who is at a stage in life where human beings are no longer able generally to accommodate the demands of any job, let alone the most demanding job in the world.”
“It’s not Dean Phillips that produced historically low approval numbers” for Biden, he said. “It’s not Dean Phillips that is showing him losing in every battleground state.”
Afterwards, the congressman declared that his candidacy “is an intervention for a party that has become addicted to a delusion.”
Even though the odds are stacked against him, Phillips told Boston’s WGBH-FM that the New Hampshire primary might be “the beginning of something.”
“I’m practicing democracy,” he said. “I’ve had the most extraordinary 90 days of my life. I’ve been reinvigorated about our great country. I’ve met people with the most people stories, the most heartbreaking stories.
“And I showed up. And that was my mission, is to demonstrate that in this country we do not do coronations, we have competitions.”
He stated, referring to Biden, “I believe Americans have made up their mind: He is not electable.”
