Dean Phillips Apologizes for Comments on Kamala Harris

The apology follows criticism from Democrats and allies of Harris, amid Phillips' long shot campaign against Biden's reelection bid.

Rep. Dean Phillips, a Democrat from Minnesota, has apologized to Vice President Kamala Harris for comments he made criticizing her in an interview with The Atlantic.
Phillips, who is running a long shot campaign against President Joe Biden's reelection bid in 2024, had suggested that Harris may not be the right choice as president in the event that Biden cannot serve.
Phillips' comments and subsequent apology have not been received well on social media from Democrats and allies of Harris, with some pointing out his apology lacked substance.
Phillips' campaign is premised on the argument that while Biden is a 'good person,' polling suggests the country does not want him to be president again.
According to a poll conducted by Yahoo News/YouGov, 54 percent of Democratic primary voters wish to see 'another Democrat' enter the 2024 race over Biden.
