Dean Phillips , Launches White House Bid Against Joe Biden.

The Minnesota congressman made the announcement on CBS News on Oct.

27.

I think President Biden has done a spectacular job for our country.

But it's not about the past.

This is an election about the future.

, Rep.

Dean Phillips, via CBS News.

I will not sit still I will not be quiet in the face of numbers that are so clearly saying that we're going to be facing an emergency next November, Rep.

Dean Phillips, via CBS News.

Phillips is expected to compete in the New Hampshire primary.

He will also begin a bus tour after formally announcing his candidacy in Concord, ABC News reports.

Phillips' White House bid has garnered criticism from his colleagues and peers.

First of all, Dean is a friend of mine.

I respect him greatly.

I disagree with this.

It is not going to have any impact whatsoever on this.

, Minnesota Gov.

Tim Walz, via statement.

Joe Biden's our nominee.

And I hope this just, I hope for Dean he's alright on this one, but it's not going to make any difference.

Our nominee is the president, Minnesota Gov.

Tim Walz, via statement.

He's not serious about running for president.

For someone to jump in and only file for one state– he doesn't understand that if you want to run for the President of the United States, you need to be backed by a diverse coalition, Artie Blanco, a Democratic National Committee member from Nevada, via ABC News.

Phillips says that one of his main reasons for seeking the presidency is that Democrats want an alternative to Biden, especially given his advanced age, as indicated by various polls.
