CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — For months, Dean Phillips has been calling for a Democratic primary challenge to President Joe Biden.
Asked by CBS News in an interview posted late Thursday if he was running for president, Phillips responded: “I am.
I have to.”“I think President Biden has done a spectacular job for our country,” he said.
New Hampshire has refused to comply, citing state laws saying its primary must go first, and plans a primary before South Carolina’s.
“To do well in the New Hampshire primary, you have to have a message.”There are no primary debates scheduled, according to the DNC.
