Rep. Dean Phillips still undecided on 2024 presidential run [View all]

Democratic U.S. Rep. Dean Phillips said Sunday that he has not made a decision on whether he will undertake a long-shot presidential primary campaign against President Joe Biden.

The appearance by Phillips on the CBS program "Face the Nation" came after he confirmed late last month that he has been urged to consider running for president in the 2024 Democratic primary. The news was first broken by Politico.

The CBS interview represented the first public comments Phillips has made since news of a potential presidential run became public. Phillips has called for competition in the primary for months, and made a similar push during his Sunday television appearance.

At this point, Biden is being challenged in the Democratic primary by long-shot candidates author Marianne Williamson and anti-vaccine voice Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
