Did you hear that Andrew Yang, the ninth-place contestant in the 2020 Democratic presidential primaries and fourth-place finisher in New York City's 2021 mayoral primary, endorsed Rep. Dean Phillips (DāMinn.) for president in New Hampshire Thursday? Probably not, but here's the quote anyway:
"Joe Biden has been an accomplished and substantial president. I endorsed him and voted for him in 2020 and was even a campaign surrogate," Yang, the founder of the Forward Party, said in his prepared remarks. "[But] while he was the right candidate four years ago, he is not nowā¦.The president is 81. All of the things that a candidate must do to be successfulātravel, project energy, rally, meet voters, conduct interviews, call surrogatesāall of them will be more difficult with an older candidate whose team will be concerned about him stumbling, literally or figuratively, at every turn. The candidate matters! It will be hard to reinvent grandpa."
