Dean Phillips also says Trump supporters are kind, open, accepting people.

Look, Dean: you tried, you failed. That means it's time to go away.

As a Minnesotan I can tell you he doesn’t have the support here. I know I’m not a big fan of Biden but that’s who I voted for in the primary because I see him as the best of those available on the ballot.

Hopefully in 2028 the DNC will find an actual progressive candidate who’s not eligible for Social Security yet.

The same Dean Phillips that went to a trump rally just a few days ago? Huh

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

The same Dean Phillips who said the thing about Biden in the headline on Sean Hannity's show.

Because you know that any legitimate Democratic contender would go straight to Hannity after losing a primary.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


I do respect President Biden,” Phillips told Fox News’ Sean Hannity.

His age is frequently discussed amid the 2024 presidential campaign, as people claim it is time for a younger leader and have concerns over his well-being.

In the interview Thursday, the Minnesota Democrat reiterated a point he’s made throughout his campaign.

Much of the country is looking for change and doesn’t want either Biden or Trump as president again, Phillips said.

Phillips continued, saying “we’re handing the keys to this country” to both the far-right and the far-left, and called himself part of the “exhausted majority in the middle.”

He recently backtracked from his original plan of suspending his campaign by March 5 if he did not gain traction and as of Tuesday morning said he plans to stay in the race “as long as it takes” to have a match-up against Trump.
