His run offers a symbolic challenge to national Democrats trying to project the idea that there is no reason to doubt the president’s electability.
For months, Dean Phillips called for a Democratic primary challenge to President Biden, drawing no public interest from governors, lawmakers and other would-be alternatives. The 54-year-old Minnesota congressman finally entered the race himself Friday in an event outside New Hampshire's statehouse, saying, “It is time for the torch to be passed to a new generation of American leaders.” Phillips is highly unlikely to beat Biden.
Bush both failed, but Carter and Bush ultimately lost their reelection bids. The state's influence on Democrats also was curtailed this year by changes engineered by the Democratic National Committee at Biden's behest. A new Democratic calendar has South Carolina leading off presidential primary voting on Feb. 3 and Nevada going three days later. New Hampshire has refused to comply, citing state laws saying its primary must go first, and plans a primary before South Carolina’s.
