Former Democrat Minnesota Sen. Dean Phillips calls former Biden adviser Mike Donilon to one of the “ring leaders” who are trying to keep former President Joe Biden in the 2024 race, and people like him warned that he was only interested in “self-preservation.”
Before Biden dropped out of the 2024 race in July of that year, Democrats supported the former president and sought to dismiss concerns from Republicans about his mental fitness. In an interview with Harvard University’s Institute of Politics on February 13, Donilon said the party “lost their hearts” about Biden’s performance in disastrous debate, and sometimes people simply have “awful debate.” He added.
In “Ingraham’s Angle,” guest host Kayley McKennanny asked the former Democrats if Biden “won” if he stayed in the race. (Related: “I’ve never seen anything like this”: FMR Clinton poll says “support is falling off the cliff”)
“Now Kayley, Donilon, was one of the ring leaders of concealment, with all his respect,” Phillips said. “I know it wasn’t just a bad argument. It was a symptom of the president, not a solid footing, but at the end of his first term, and he had no intention of winning that race no matter what. , and I couldn’t serve for another four years.”

Before Biden discussed with President Donald Trump on June 27, the former president’s advisor touted his policies and what they said as his mental fitness. Former White House press secretary Carine Jean Pierre attempts to downplay concerns, accusing Republicans of creating negative stories, confusing and pinching Biden’s video as “cheap fakes” It looked like that.
But Biden ends his campaign after he struggled to finish his statement and struggled to freeze middle homeostasis during discussions with Trump, lawmakers, donors and critics I asked for it.
“Mr. Donilon knows that, but we have a really perverse incentive in Washington, DC, on either side of the aisle, to protect and maintain your proximity to power,” says Phillips. said. “I’m like Mr Donilon, like many others on your show, and all evening cable shows, say the same thing in the future, where were they when the real issues happened. I’ve forgotten what that is.”
“I’m worried that he’s just one of them, and that’s the problem,” Phillips said. “People are more concerned about their self-preservation than their own principles. Yeah, the power is intoxicating. You can see too much in Washington.”
Since Trump’s victory, when Democrats sacrificed bases in major voting blocks, the party has struggled to unify behind a single message as midterm elections approach. The New York Times reported that donors from major parties have suspended donations to leftist activist groups due to party failure, and many are struggling to seek cash.
