<p>Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN) urged other top Democrats over the weekend to jump in the 2024 presidential race and primary President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden">Joe Biden</a>.</p>
<p>Phillips made the remarks during a Sunday interview on CBS News&#8217; &#8220;Face the Nation&#8221; with Major Garrett.</p>
<p>There have been rumors swirling that Phillips is thinking about running for president but he said during the interview that he has not made a decision.</p>
<p>&#8220;Democrats are telling me that they want, not a coronation, but they want a competition,&#8221; Phillips said. &#8220;The New York Times poll from this week shows 55% of Democratic voters want some alternatives to the current people in the primary. 83% of those under 30. Democrats under 30 want alternatives, and about 76% of independents.&#8221;</p>
<p>Phillips suggested that if Democrats do not run someone else as the party&#8217;s nominee in 2024 that the consequences &#8220;are going to be disastrous.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;So my call is to those who are well positioned, well prepared, have good character and competency, they know who they are, to jump in, because Democrats and the country need competition,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>&#8220;I do not believe I&#8217;m well positioned to run for it right now,&#8221; he later added. &#8220;People who are should jump in because we need to meet the moment. The moment is now. That is what the country is asking.&#8221;</p>
<p>Phillips said that he thinks that Biden can beat Trump but added that he needs to &#8220;go through a process by the way before it&#8217;s too late.&#8221;</p>
<p>Phillips also said during the interview that he does not believe that Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a Democrat and said that he had anxiety about Cornell West running as a Green Party candidate.</p>
<p>&#8220;Anybody who wants to turn the page and go to the future in this country should be worried about Cornell West&#8217;s candidacy,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Any third party entrance that would take votes from whoever is going to take on the likely nominee from the GOP and that&#8217;s probably Donald Trump. So I would ask Mr. West, I would ask others who are contemplating third party runs to please think about your legacy, think about the future and consolidate around entering a Democratic primary because that&#8217;s why we have primaries.&#8221;</p>
