It has been only one day since Minnesota Congressman Dean Phillips announced he was taking on President Joe Biden for the Democratic nomination and he is already getting a pretty cold shoulder from his party.
Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens were among those who quickly took to social media shortly after Mr. Phillips’s announcement. The mayor denounced the Minnesota representative’s candidacy, accusing the 54-year old three-term lawmaker of “hosting an attention-seeking stunt” that he specifically said is insulting to black voters and characterized in a lengthy tweet on X as undermining the successes of the Biden-Harris administration.
