Abstract
Mike Johnson and Dean Phillips, two relatively unknown figures in American politics, have recently gained prominence. Mike Johnson, the new Republican House speaker, is more complex than initially portrayed, with a belief in systemic racism stemming from his experiences raising his adopted black son. Dean Phillips, a Minnesota congressman, has decided to challenge Joe Biden for the Democratic presidential nomination, potentially disrupting the 2024 election. Phillips is seen as a stalking horse, a long-shot candidate who challenges an incumbent or front-runner to open up the field for more credible challengers. Phillips aims to use Biden's age and the risk of losing to a resurgent Donald Trump as his main arguments. However, the recent conflict in the Middle East and the rise of the Hamas wing of the Democratic Party pose additional challenges for Biden's electoral viability. The article suggests that the coming months may see more significant developments in the Democratic Party. [Extracted from the article]
