Minnesota Rep. Dean Phillips has pledged to continue his campaign against the president.
Michael Steele, former chair of the Republican National Committee, confronted Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.) on MSNBC Sunday about his longshot primary challenge to President Joe Biden.
“The chairman in me says, ‘What the hell are you doing? And why are you doing it?’” Steele, an MSNBC political analyst, asked the lawmaker on “The Weekend.”
He noted that the Democratic Party chose Biden as its nominee in 2020, and the incumbent just won South Carolina’s Democratic primary with 96% of the vote.
“So the question becomes: In reality, are you creating a drain in the process, prolonging the narratives around his age, prolonging the narratives around other things that people are distracted by with Joe Biden when the real threat is the man across the aisle?” Steele asked.
