President Biden recently addressed House Democrats in a letter that indirectly criticized Rep. Dean Phillips, a Democrat from Minnesota, for raising concerns about Biden's age and mental acuity during the Democratic primary.
Although Biden did not mention Phillips by name, he acknowledged the congressman's repeated attempts to highlight these issues. Biden emphasized that the primary was open to all candidates, with only three individuals choosing to challenge him. One candidate performed poorly and switched to running as an independent, while another who criticized Biden's age was decisively defeated.
