Phillips criticizes Biden and Democrats for voter suppression, calling it a threat to democracy

Rep. Dean Phillips Accuses DNC and President Biden of Voter Suppression‍ in New Hampshire Primaries

As ⁤the first New ⁣Hampshire primaries kicked off, Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN) made a bold accusation against the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and President Joe Biden, claiming they were suppressing voters. Despite running in a unique ‍situation with no delegates at stake and relying on a write-in campaign, Phillips did not hold back.

In an interview, Phillips, who has centered his campaign⁢ around the Granite State, ‍criticized the Florida Democratic Party for declaring‍ Biden the winner of⁤ the primary ⁢without allowing any votes to be cast, effectively disenfranchising around 4 million voters. ⁣He also pointed out similar actions taken by‍ the state of North Carolina​ and Massachusetts, where the secretary of ‌state had to intervene.

According to Phillips, these actions amount to voter suppression, a serious concern for democracy. He urged President Biden ‍to answer questions and address these issues, emphasizing ⁢the importance of open ‍debates and transparency.

In a recent Emerson poll, it was revealed that⁣ 61%‌ of Democratic primary voters in New Hampshire plan to write in Biden, despite his absence from the state’s ballot. Biden’s campaign⁣ decided ​not to file for the⁣ primary‌ due to scheduling ​conflicts after the DNC’s push to prioritize South Carolina.

Phillips, who garnered 16% support in the New Hampshire poll, ‌faces competition from Marianne Williamson (5% support) and a significant‍ portion of⁣ undecided voters (16%). The ​poll also highlighted Biden’s strength among older⁣ voters, with 84% of Democratic primary voters over 60 planning to write him in.

It is clear that Phillips is determined to challenge the status quo and fight against any attempts to suppress voters and candidates. The New​ Hampshire primaries serve⁤ as a⁢ battleground for these crucial democratic ⁣values.
