Supporters of Congressman Dean Phillips (D-MN) have launched several digital ads attacking Joe Biden’s electability in the 2020 presidential race. The ads, which were paid for by the Dean Phillips for America’s PAC, highlight Biden’s record and his positions on issues like health care and climate change to contrast them with Phillips’ progressive agenda. The ads also note that Phillips has been endorsed by prominent progressive movements such as the Sunrise Movement and Our Revolution. The ads are a sign of Phillips’ efforts to capitalize on the bio-diversity movement and distinguish himself from Biden and other more moderate contenders in the crowded 2020 Democratic field.
