Philips was even more centrist than Biden, but he at least was willing to step up himself when he couldn’t recruit anyone else to challenge Biden for being too old. This very circumstance was the whole reason he ran.
Yeah, The Lever podcast had a really good interview with his campaign manager. They covered why he got into the race and how the DNC fucked him (and generally squash primary challengers). I’m not a fan of centrists, so I wouldn’t have voted for him, but what he was trying to do was admirable.
