Biden supporters should be concerned about the current state of his campaign and take action to ensure his election success.

Should Democrats be worried about President Joe Biden's chances of winning reelection? That depends on who you ask. Some are truly panicked about his prospects, while others are urging their compatriots to take a deep breath.

To find out who has the more compelling case, West Wing Playbook recently interviewed Rep. Dean Phillips, who has encouraged other Democrats to challenge Biden in a primary and has even considered getting in the race himself.

When asked if Biden can win the 2024 race, Phillips replied that it is possible, but that there could be other candidates better positioned to beat Donald Trump if he runs as the GOP nominee. He also expressed his own concern that Biden could lose, citing the recent Washington Post-ABC poll as a major warning sign.

Phillips believes the issue isn't a failure of policy, but rather that people are not feeling the success of Biden's initiatives. He argued that Democrats are sleepwalking into a repeat of 2016, and that they need to understand the severity of the situation and course correct while there's still time.

He also believes that some Democrats are too focused on their own futures and are not focused enough on the country's future. He stressed that it is time to step up and get into the race, and that if no one else is willing to do so, he might.
