WASHINGTON — Three months ago as Minnesota Rep. Dean Phillips began to signal publicly that he could launch a 2024 campaign, he called President Joe Biden to talk through why he supports a competitive primary for the Democratic nomination, according to two people familiar with the outreach. Biden didn’t take the call, these people said.
Earlier this month Phillips stepped down from his position in House Democratic leadership given his position on the 2024 race, saying in a statement that he wanted to “avoid unnecessary distractions during a critical time for our country.” Biden aides privately say Phillips has no rationale for his candidacy.
