Hey ladies and gentlemen, this is Carmine Sabia for Explain America and Joe Biden just
0:05
got devastating news, devastating news as we approach the 2024 presidential election
0:11
and it might be the end for him. It might really be curtains for him
0:15

Particularly liking and sharing really help us out, but all those little things really
0:23
help us out and they help our channel continue to grow. You know, Joe Biden has run unopposed for the Democrat nomination for president like
0:31
most incumbent presidents do, but now there's a new challenger and he already has Robert
0:38
F. Kennedy, Marian Williamson, he's got Cornel West. These are all vote draggers, I believe, from him
0:45
But this next one, representative, a current Democrat representative, Dean Phillips, who
0:50
just announced his campaign for the presidency and for the Democrat nomination, this could
0:55
be really dangerous for Biden. I'll tell you why after you see this clip of Phillips trying to say he's not running
1:04
against Biden and then getting called out because he is running against Biden
1:09
Let's take a look. As some of President Biden's supporters have pointed out, you have voted with President
1:15
Biden nearly 100% of the time while you were in Congress. So I guess the question is, do you have any major policy critiques about the Biden administration
1:26
Well, Kristen, I admire the president. I voted for those policies because they're good ones and they will be making a difference
1:33
over time. This is I'm not running against Joe Biden. I'm not running against President Biden
1:38
I'm running for the future. Yes, we have some policy differences, but I'm a proud Democrat
1:44
And what I'm hearing every single day, and I know all my colleagues are as well, both
1:48
Democrats and Republicans, is that the cost of living in America is terrifying for people
1:54
right now. It's too high. Things that were affordable are no longer
1:58
Mortgage rates are going up. Fuel is too expensive. Food is too expensive
2:02
People can't afford child care. And we're spending almost a trillion dollars a year defending the very people who can barely
2:10
make ends meet. Sixty percent of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck
2:14
About 40 percent cannot even afford a 400 dollar emergency repair. And I'm afraid we have people protecting their positions of power instead of protecting the
2:24
American people who are desperate for someone to listen to them. And if I can make that change, if I can be that ear and then that voice and then that
2:33
president, that's how this system is supposed to work. And I might also say those who might fear choice or who fear freedom, I don't think
2:41
are on the side of democracy. And that is very troubling in a time like this
2:45
Congressman, respectfully, you are literally running against President Biden. So can you tell voters what is your major point of difference with President Biden
2:57
I'm not running against President Biden. I'm running for the majority of Americans who want somebody different
3:03
But you just announced you're running for president, aren't you? That means you're running against President Biden
3:08
That's literally the definition of what that means. I'm running for president and I'm doing it. And I'm running for president because America deserves to have someone listen to them
3:17
I am someone that feels so deeply that this system is so broken, is so corrupt and is
3:22
so in need of someone who does not come from 50 years of spending time in Washington, a
3:28
culture of conflict instead of cooperation. I know what America wants. I'm part of the exhausted majority
3:34
I know tens of millions of people are as well. And I also want to make it clear, because I admire Joe Biden
3:39
I also am a proud Democrat. I would not run as an independent. In fact, I encourage all the third party candidates to enter the primary
3:47
Cornel West, Robert Kennedy, the no labels effort. I think that would be the most traumatic, dangerous decision possible
3:54
I want people to actually enter the primary because that's how we do it in America
3:57
And frankly, I'm still extending an invitation to more because we need more contributions
4:03
in our political lives. We need more competition and we need more participation
4:08
That's why I'm doing this and I'm doing it with joy, but also recognizing the existential
4:13
threat to our country, gun violence. Eighteen people were just killed in the state next door in Maine, 18 Americans
4:20
And because Americans in Congress are fighting one another, we're not fighting for the people
4:24
we represent. I'm going to change that. I look forward to it. And if I don't succeed, rest assured, I will be supporting the eventual Democratic nominee
4:32
But Americans are saying they want somebody else. The reason I think this is bad for Biden
4:36
I don't think Phillips is going to beat him, but I think he could do enough damage, especially
4:41
highlighting the age disparity to really hurt Biden in the general election
4:46
Biden's going to win the Democrat primary barring something unforeseen. But it's it's the the highlighting of this young guy versus old man River
4:57
I think that's really going to hurt him heading into the into the general election because
5:01
it's going to bring it to the minds of voters, particularly Democrat voters. A new poll just came out that showed only 39 percent of Democrats are happy with Joe Biden
5:11
But that's a horrible number. And the numbers were similar in another poll in swing states where only 39 percent felt
5:18
that he was handling the economy OK. So it's been devastating for him among Democrat voters
5:25
And now having a Democrat challenger, I don't see how that benefits him in any way
5:31
