Ken Martin? He’s not an improvement. Remember Dean Phillips? He was the Minnesota Congressman who realized Biden couldn’t win and tried to get his party to hold a real primary. For his efforts, the party pushed him out leadership and found multiple challengers for his own seat. Ken Martin was in charge of the Minnesota Democratic Party at the time, and released this passive aggressive statement after they finally drove Phillips out of politics:

We appreciate Dean’s service and his 100% voting record supporting President Biden’s historic record of accomplishments. There are a number of talented DFLers who would be great representatives for Minnesota’s third district and who understand the importance of reelecting President Biden and keeping this seat in DFL hands. I’m confident we will have a strong and loyal nominee for the DFL Party at the conclusion of the process.
