Democratic Biden challenger says he and Haley are the 'last two standing' to move US forward

Minnesota Democratic Congressman Dean Phillips called out both President Biden and former President Donald Trump in the wake of critiques of Biden's cognitive abilities by Special Counsel Robert Hur in last week's report.

Phillips, who is running in the Democratic presidential primary, told Fox News he believes Biden is indeed in position to be able to finish his term ending January 20, 2025, but questioned whether he could handle four more years in the White House.

At the same time, Phillips pointed to Trump being just a few years younger than Biden, saying that leaves himself and former South Carolina Republican Gov. Nikki Haley as the only two remaining candidates in position to move the country forward for the long term.

On "The Story," anchor Trace Gallagher reported Phillips is not in favor of invoking the 25th Amendment to remove Biden from office, but does find the commander-in-chief "weak and unelectable."

"I think the president is competent, and I think he can and should serve out his term. The question is, is he in a position to serve until January 2029?" Phillips said in response.

"I know the country knows the answer. I know those in Congress don't want to acknowledge the truth."

In contrast, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas claimed over the weekend Biden remains "sharp, intensely probing and detail-oriented."

Phillips, however, did not appear convinced.

"I think the special counsel's report only validated what the whole country knows. But also, you know, Donald Trump is in the same position," he said.
