Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.) announced Sunday he’s stepping down from his House leadership position after he voiced concerns about his party’s support for President Joe Biden’s reelection and after he suggested he might himself run for president in 2024.
While he is pleased with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries’s (D-N.Y.) leadership, Mr. Phillips said Sunday that his “convictions relative to the 2024 presidential race are incongruent with the majority of my caucus, and I felt it appropriate to step aside from elected leadership.”
