Rep. Dean Phillips (D., Minn.) told House colleagues that he plans to run for the Democratic presidential nomination, two sources told Politico. A third source who spoke to Phillips told Politico he seemed less resolved, replying, "We’ll see" when asked whether he'll run.
Of course, the first question that comes to mind is "Who?"
In short, he's a very generic "moderate" democrat who, as far as his voting record indicates, goes along with the party position nearly all the time.
One other thing he has going for him is some inherited wealth. He's not Mike Bloomberg rich, but he has one of the highest net worth values in congress. The inheritance comes from a previously big distillery business
In my opinion, he might make for a decent Biden copy, without the family/corruption controversy.
What may be interesting to watch for is if the floodgates open with more democrats wanting to fill in as the puppet figurehead of the country.
Yeah I've seen people suggesting Newsom if Biden proves too incompetent or too dead by the election.
A couple of the bloggers I read have been showing detailed pics of current-day "Biden" versus 2019 Biden versus Obama-era Biden and have posited that either Biden has had a massive stroke and is a vegetable (or dead), or that he's so demented now that his double has to be the default option. And as far as the double goes, Israel trip Biden only kinda-sorta looked like 2020 Biden. It's like the handlers have set a bottle of Dr. Thunder on the table and said with a smirk "watcha talkin' 'bout, that's Dr. Peppa!"
Links?
Not doubting, just interested.
Here is a blog link, and here is Vice trying to fact check it.
TL;DR of both: either body doubles or a lot of very bad plastic surgery done in 2019-2020, with no evidence of scarring.
yeah I wanna see those too
Just the difference between 90s biden and today is stark. But having 3 years progression side by side would be useful.
