Rep. Phillips Resigns from Democratic Leadership, Eyes 2024 Challenge to Biden

Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.) is stepping down from his position as co-chairman of the Democratic Policy and Communications Committee as he considers a potential primary challenge to President Biden in 2024. Phillips cited differences in his convictions relative to the majority of his caucus as the reason for stepping aside. He will remain in his congressional seat and as a member of the Democratic caucus. Two other Democratic challengers, Marianne Williamson and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., have already announced their intentions to run in the primary.
