Rep. Dean Phillips announced his intention to run for president in the 2024 election.

On October 26, 2023, Representative Dean Phillips announced his intention to run for the presidency in the 2024 election. The announcement was made in New Hampshire, a state known for its early primary. Phillips, a Democrat from Minnesota, is challenging incumbent President Joe Biden in the Democratic primary. This move is seen as unusual, as sitting presidents are rarely challenged within their own party.

Phillips, a businessman and philanthropist before his political career, has been serving in the U.S. House of Representatives since 2019. His campaign is expected to focus on economic issues, particularly those affecting small businesses and the middle class.

The announcement has sparked a variety of reactions within the Democratic party. Some, like political strategist James Carville, have criticized the decision, calling discussions about Biden's viability 'ludicrous'. Others see it as a healthy sign of intra-party democracy. The impact of Phillips' decision on the 2024 election remains to be seen.
