Dean Phillips talks about the possibility of his presidential run 02:38 MINNEAPOLIS — After another highly visible health scare for Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Rep. Dean Phillips is calling for term limits for some public officials — though Phillips himself admits the push is fairly futile.McConnell, 81, appeared to freeze during an exchange with reporters at an event in his home state of Kentucky on Wednesday. A similar incident happened about a month ago during a press conference at the U.S. Capitol.Phillips’ call also referenced Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the 90-year-old Democrat who has given power of attorney to her daughter and was hospitalized after a fall at her home earlier this month. Feinstein also had a lengthy absence from Washington, D.C., earlier this year. For goodness sake, the family, friends, and staff of Senators Feinstein and McConnell are doing them and our country a tremendous disservice. It’s time for term limits for Congress and the Supreme Court, and some basic human decency.— Rep. Dean Phillips 🇺🇸 (@RepDeanPhillips) August 30, 2023
