Dean Phillips Vows to Challenge Bidenomics and Invest Millions in Primary Campaign

Rep. Dean Phillips, a Democrat, is defying his party's pushback and vowing to invest millions of dollars from his personal fortune in his long-shot presidential primary challenge against President Joe Biden. Phillips plans to use super PAC money to air negative ads in key primary states and has been escalating his attacks against Biden's message and political standing. Despite facing criticism and potential damage to his own political career, Phillips believes Biden's low approval numbers and the need for change motivate his challenge. He aims to differentiate himself from Biden on border policy and affordability, and plans to campaign in South Carolina and Michigan before reassessing his candidacy after Super Tuesday.
