The Minnesota Democrat, who has been outspoken about his opposition to the president's reelection, plans to remain in Congress.
Rep. Dean Phillips announced on Sunday that he will step down from his Democratic leadership role, as rumors continue to swirl about the Minnesota congressman potentially running against the president in the 2024 primary.
According to a spokesperson for Phillips, the three-term congressman will be stepping down from his role as co-chair of the Democratic Policy and Communications Committee. Phillips will continue to represent his district in Congress and will remain a part of the Democratic caucus.
I have decided to step down from the DPCC & Democratic Caucus leadership. While politics & official work do not mix, it’s clear my convictions about 2024 are incongruent with the position of my colleagues & that was causing discomfort. I was not pressured or forced to resign. 1/2
