Democratic presidential candidate Rep. Dean Phillips has unloaded with his most brazen criticism of President Biden to date, telling The Post his re-election would be “dangerous” for the country.

“We’re human beings, and I think it’s irresponsible for Americans to place in the White House presidents who are in their 80s. I think it’s wrong, I think it’s dangerous,” Phillips, 54, said Thursday during an interview at his campaign office in New Hampshire’s largest city.

“He’s a good man, he was a good president, but I do not think the country is looking for 80-plus-year-old presidents,” added Phillips (D-Minn.), who cited polling data showing a majority of Americans have concerns about Biden’s mental capabilities.
