Congressman Dean Phillips' constituents have mixed feelings about his presidential campaign

(Undated)  --  Presidential candidate Congressman Dean Phillips is getting some pushback from some of his Minnesota constituents concerning his run for the White House.  

The Democratic hopeful's campaign has been met with a mix of anger and encouragement back home in his west suburban congressional district.  

Some back Phillips' claim that President Joe Biden is too old and politically unpopular to defeat former President Donald Trump a second time.  

Others are frustrated that the third-term lawmaker has missed House votes while campaigning and question why he's still running after landslide losses in New Hampshire and South Carolina.  

Phillips will be able to gauge how much support he has in his district on March 5, when Minnesota and several other states hold their presidential primary elections on Super Tuesday.
