MANCHESTER, N.H. (CNN) — Rep. Dean Phillips is escalating his long-shot presidential primary challenge to President Joe Biden, vowing to invest as much of his multimillion-dollar fortune as it takes to win. “I think in 2020, (President Biden) was probably the only Democrat who could have beaten Donald Trump. Phillips says he’s likely tanked his future in Democratic politics by taking on Biden in what his critics say is a quixotic presidential primary challenge. “[Carter] had a Democratic primary challenger because he was going to get slaughtered in the election. I’m not doing what Cornel West is doing, not doing what Jill Stein is doing, not doing what Joe Manchin might do,” Phillips said.
