Dean Phillips of Minnesota is preparing to formally announce a long- shot Democratic primary challenge to President Biden, offering himself as a next-generation alternative to the 80-year-old president, according to people familiar with his plans.
The 54-year-old Phillips, after months of encouraging fellow Democrats to challenge Biden, has told people in his home state that he plans to announce his presidential campaign Friday in Concord, N.H., one of the people said.
His visit is expected to come hours before the state’s primary ballot deadline.
