Dean Phillips challenges President Biden's chances of winning reelection

Congressman Dean Phillips, a Democratic candidate, argues that President Biden cannot beat Donald Trump. He believes that Biden's showing in the New Hampshire primary is crucial to determine his strength as a candidate. Phillips suggests that if Biden receives around 42% of the primary vote, similar to what happened with Lyndon Johnson in 1968, it would indicate weakness and potentially impact his chances of securing the Democratic nomination.
