Phillips Doubts Biden's Chances Against Trump in 2024

Democratic presidential candidate Dean Phillips calls belief in Biden's potential victory 'delusional' based on current polls.

  • Rep. Dean Phillips, a Democratic presidential candidate, has publicly stated that he believes it is 'delusional' to think President Joe Biden could defeat former President Donald Trump in a potential 2024 election rematch, based on current poll numbers.
  • Phillips cited a Politico article discussing Biden's sagging poll numbers against Trump as reason for his statement.
  • Recent polls show Trump leading Biden in five of six swing states, with Biden only leading in Wisconsin.
  • Phillips has faced backlash within the Democratic Party for his comments, including criticism for citing Vice President Kamala Harris's low approval ratings as reason she may not be well positioned to succeed Biden.
  • Phillips, who has announced he will not seek reelection to his House seat, has said he will drop out of the presidential race if polling turns around in Biden's favor by summer.
