Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.) on Thursday said that he would not support President Joe Biden running again in 2024, saying that it’s time for a “new generation” of Democratic candidates.

When asked by local radio, the congressman for Minnesota’s third district said that Biden would be an octogenarian by 2024 and hopes “other Democrats step up.”
