Former
Democratic Minnesota Rep. Dean Phillips called ex-Biden adviser Mike
Donilon one
of the "ring leaders" attempting to keep former President
Joe Biden in
the 2024 race, warning that people like him are only concerned with
"self-preservation."
Before
Biden dropped out of
the 2024 race in July of that year, Democrats supported the former president,
attempting to dismiss concerns from Republicans about his mental fitness.
During an interview with Harvard's Institute of Politics on Feb. 13, Donilon
said the party had "lost its mind" over Biden's disastrous debate
performance, adding that sometimes people simply have "terrible
debates."
On
"The Ingraham Angle," guest host Kayleigh McEnany asked the former
Democratic representative if Biden would "have prevailed" if he had
stayed in the race.
"Now
Kayleigh, Mr. Donilon, with all due respect, was one of the ringleaders of the
cover-up," Phillips said. "You know that wasn't just a bad debate.
That was a symptom of a president who was reaching the end of his first term
not on solid footing and was not going to win that race no matter what and
surely could not serve another four years."
Before
Biden took the debate stage against President Donald Trump on June 27, advisers
to the former president touted his policies and what they said was his mental
fitness. Former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre attempted to
downplay concerns, accusing Republicans of creating a negative narrative
and dismissing videos
of Biden appearing confused or stumbling over his words as "cheap
fakes."
However,
after Biden was seen struggling to finish his statement and freezing
mid-sentence during the debate with Trump, lawmakers, donors, and pundits called for
Biden to end his campaign.
"Mr.
Donilon knows that, but we have this really perverse incentive in Washington
D.C. on both sides of the aisle to protect and preserve your proximity to
power," Phillips said. "I'm afraid Mr. Donilon, like so many others
on your show, and on all the evening cable shows, say the same thing months
down the road and forget where they were when the real issues happened."
"I'm
afraid he's just one of them, and that's the problem," Phillips
said. "People more concerned about their self-preservation than
their principles. Yeah, power is intoxicating. We see it all too much in
Washington."
Since
Trump's win, which cost Democrats their stronghold on key voting blocs, the
party has struggled to
unify behind a single message as the midterm elections approach. Major party
donors are reportedly pausing donations to left-wing activist groups due to the
party's failures, causing many to struggle for cash, according to the
New York Times.
