Unfortunately, we see the same carnage over and over because he has not succeeded. Now we need to try something new, says Dean Phillips to news. The congressman is one of the only ones who dares to challenge Joe Biden ahead of the presidential election in the autumn. It has not been long since he started his election campaign, and he says he is running because more well-known politicians who he believes should have done so, do not dare. Dean does not hesitate when we ask whether Biden could have done more to avoid the great civilian casualties in the Middle East. -Of course. We need a new generation of leaders working together on the Middle East. And it must happen quickly. Otherwise, we will soon see nuclear weapons in small backpacks being detonated around the world. Dean Phillips has spent the last three months traveling around the US and meeting voters to discuss the state of the country with them. He takes the time to talk to those who come to his meetings.

Olivia won’t say her last name, but the journalism student wants another Democratic president. – I am not a big fan of President Biden.

Biden not on the ballot On Tuesday, Republican voters in New Hampshire will decide whether they want Donald Trump or Nikki Haley as their presidential candidate. But there are also democratic elections here even if Joe Biden’s name is not even on the ballot. Biden will go through a nomination process, but since he wants re-election, only lesser-known challengers such as Dean Phillips have signed up. And the Democrats’ central party apparatus has decided that their nomination process will start in the state of South Carolina on February 7. Therefore, they do not recognize the election in New Hampshire. Dean Phillips is still betting here after this summer, as one of the first members of Congress, he went to the media and said frankly that he believes the Democratic Party must wake up and find an alternative to Biden. Using own money Dean Phillips is not expected to win the election here in New Hampshire on Tuesday because local Democrats have started a campaign to get voters to write Biden’s name on the ballot. – I don’t know how well I’m doing. But in any case, it has been worth it to travel around the United States and talk to people, Dean Phillips told those present at the meeting in the small town of Nashua.
