That’s not how challenging incumbents in primaries works. The challengers open up avenues of attack that are then utilized by opposition parties. That’s why historically incumbents usually have an unopposed primary. Steve is doing nothing to help Biden, the challenge by his neophyte candidate will only hurt Biden and help Trump. Steve knows this full well but he is a mercenary and has no party.

Yes, the 'challenger' Phillips has already stated his opposition that "Biden is bad for Democracy". This is pathetic. There is nothing to attack about Biden except his age!
Biden is also just getting the job done ( he is THE master of legislation and diplomacy, domestically and internationally!) instead of brawling like pigs in a pen. Unite behind Biden 2024!
Biden’s presidency is the most accomplished of my lifetime (perhaps save LBJ’s, which began when I was a 6-year-old). In both cases, these legislators turned executives knew how both branches of our government combined to actually accomplish actionable legislation. LBJ had JFK’s functioning administration to run with. Biden had nothing of the sort -- but his connections, his time as VP and his knowledge of how our government comes together led to tremendous, immediate accomplishments in a short period of time while taking over from literal chaos. His strategy of growing the economy from the middle out seems to be right on track and the impossible soft landing may actually happen. Afghanistan was always going to be a band-aid ripper and he said so for years and then did it. I do wish he had used some of his elective capital to solidify voting rights legislation. That would come in handy now, both on the ground and on the stump. All that said, this is an efficient, effective administration that -- no matter his age -- will have a better second term than any Dean Phillips/Gavin Newsome/Gretchen Whitmer/Josh Shapiro first term could. Think of all the first-term missteps by Presidents that turned out to be pretty good once they got their Presidential legs under them, but oh my goodness those first years -- Carter, Clinton, Obama, W, Trump. They all arrived with stars and headlights in their eyes. Not Biden. And he had to settle the country and the world (and he still has to) and he’s done that with grace and quiet and business-as-usual professionalism. That may well be the benefit of his years. Could his age be (in practice, not in politicking) a feature and not a bug? My opinion is absolutely. I wish on us the wisdom to recognize competence at the top and to really stop and ask, who could have done better and how? As a country, we have fallen victim to the president as performer with little regard for the performance of the president. We need to grow up and evaluate our candidates as public servants not as self-servant poseurs.
"Could his age be (in practice, not in politicking) a feature and not a bug? My opinion is absolutely." I 100% Agree, Robbie! Grace, yes! Biden's accomplishments during his first two years in office are astounding, given the challenges he was up against. He's just getting started, and will turn this country around if he is supported enough. I hope you'll take what you've written to me here, and keep writing it and posting it far and wide! Thanks.

Steve can "brawl for Biden." We all need to do that 24/7. Wake up America!

You brought tears to my eyes.
